RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

“Elements of Field Hygiene and Sanitation” (P.
Blakiston’s Son and Co.: Philadelphia) is modestly de-
scribed by its author, Col. Joseph H. Ford, M.C., U.S.A.,
as “a booklet.” The work is one of the most compre-
hensive, simple and direct in style, and helpful to offi-
cers new to Army life that we know. The text, which
runs to 248 pages, including the really excellent index,
covers the “general considerations” of the title subjects,
personal hygiene, the march, camps, water, the messing
of troops and camp diseases with a special chapter giv-
ing illustrative regulations concerning camp hygiene and
sanitation. The many illustrations showing the latest de-
vices used in this field are most helpful to the student
who, if he is a young officer, must feel grateful to
Colonel Ford for the preparation of this work.

In his introduction to his little book on
Training” (George Banta Publishing Co.: Menasha,
Wis.), Capt. Dale F. McDonald, U.S.A., points out that
the training of the foot soldier nowadays is really the
teaching of a whole group of subjects formerly unknown
to the infantryman in our Service and, moreover, the
implanting of the idea of a greater individual initiative
than was held to be within the province of the private
before the present war brought so many new ideas into
military practice. It is with these ends in view that he
has prepared the text of his present book, which does
not merely rearrange our Infantry Regulations, but sets
forth the new practice and principles in training. The
book will be found of great assistance to young officers
called to training duties not only for its very practical
qualities but also for the soundness of its philosophy of
infantry training according to the new dispensation.

“Field Book for Machine Gunners,” by Capt. Edward
B. Cole, U.S.M.C., is a very valuable little manual of a
type of weapon that is constantly growing in importance
and of which the literature is by no means overcrowded.
Captain Cole’s text covers his subject in all its angles,
including deiails of trench work and includes in his book
four essential tables of angles, etc. The booklet is pub-
lished by the Franklin Hudson Publishing Co., Kansas
City, Mo.

Out of his many years of experience in Polar explora-
tion Civil Engr. Robert E. Peary, U.S.N., has gathered
together a mass of material which may be styled the
technique of living in that frozen world and assembled
it in a volume entitled “The Secrets of Polar Travel”
(The Century Co.: New York city). The letterpress is
actually, as he states, a development of the resumé of
this subject laid down in his volume, “The North Pole,”
in which the ‘author felt his subject had been insuffi-
ciently covered. To those who have followed Mr. Peary’s
adventures and final triumph in his previous books this
text will be familiar matter, but, nevertheless, it has
the fascination and thrill that are always connected with
such adventures and hardships as he and his men had
in their several voyages of exploration.

The publication of the University of Chicago , Press,
entitled “Quartermaster and Ordnance Supply,” is a
guide to the principles of the supply service of the U.S
Army prepared by the civilian instructors of the Army
Supply Service Course at the University of Chicago.
This course, which was suggested by a sub-committee of
the Council of National Defense and approved by the
Ordnance Department and the Q.M.C. of the Army,
has now been given for the third time, so that its prac-
tical aspect has been well tested. T he text in the book
is the subject-matter of the courses and will prove an
excellent guide to students of “Army Supply Work.”

“What Sammy’s Doing” (George Banta Publishing
Co.: Menasha, Wis.) is a “pictorial sketch of the sol-
dier’s life’ written by Major James A. Moss and Capt.
William H. Waldron, U.S.A. It tells, for the folks back
home, with pictures as well as text, just what the boy of
the family does from the time he reaches a camp or can-
tonment until he is fairly on his way to being a real
soldier.

“Seven Hundred French Terms for American Field
Artillerymen” is another contribution by the military
spirit fostered by Yale University to the education of
the men of the Service whose special arm is indicated
by the title of this handy manual. Professor Edward
Bliss Reed, instructor in the R.O. training corps at
Yale, has compiled a rw of words and Lieut. Col.
Robert M. Danford, U.S.A., has written a foreword for
the booklet calling atenatioh to its usefulness now that
our men are to share in the flesh the comradeship they
have always felt for their brothers-in-arms of the French
army.

No. 4, Vol. ix, of Army Alterations dated Oct. 1, 1917,
has just been issued by the Franklin Hudson Publish-

ing Company, Kansas City, Mo.

One of the most practical and helpful text-books on
map sketching we have seen is “Military Panoramic
Sketching” (Franklin Hudson Publishing Co.: Kansas
City, Mo.), by Major J. J. Fulmer, U.S.A. Major Ful-
mer has adopted the very excellent plan, hitherto unused
in books of instruction in this very necessary branch of
military art, of printing a photograph of an expanse of
terrain and below it an outline drawing of the same
country, thus giving the’ most practical kind of illustra-
tion and guidance to the young military student in the
teaching of the vital principles of representation and

“Infantry

elimination. Lieut. Col. M. L. Walker, Corps of Engrs.,
U.S.A., has written an introduction to the book, in the

course of which he says that “the Services should feel
grateful to the author for such a valuable and timely
addition to our military literature.”

Lieut. Col. -E. L. Gruber, Field Art., N.A., has just
completed a revised and enlarged edition of his “Notes
on the 3-Inch Gun Matériel and Field Artillery Equip-
ment” that was originally compiled for the Reserve
Officers’ Training Corps of Yale University. The pam-
phlet (which bears the imprint of The "Yale Co-op., New
Haven, Conn.) is written with the object of ‘“familiariz-
ing the field artilleryman with the correct use and care
of the matériel with which his organization is equipped,
giving him both a theoretical and practical knowledge
which will enable him to perform his duties intelligently
and satisfactorily, and to obtain from the matériel the
highest degree of mechanical efficiency.”

The Commission on Training Camp Activities of the
Army and Navy Departments has issued a little pam-
phlet containing sixty-nine “Songs of the Soldiers and
Sailors, U.S.” that has been prepared for the use of
the men in the Services. It is published by the Govern-
ment Printing Office, Washington, and sells for fifteen
cents to those in the Services. .

In “Best O’ wuck” (George H, Doran Co.: New York
city) Alexander McClintock, of the Canadian army, tells
a etd story of his training days and his experiences

in--the trenches and touches his narrative every-
where with strokes of American bumor. It is a pity he

THE SERVICE MAGAZINES.

In accordance with its announced plan of discontinu-
ing the Journal of the Military Service Institution with
the November-December issue, that ¢vent has taken place
and the familiar blue cover will no more appear until
such time as “sufficient funds shall be received from any
source to enable such resumption.” In the last number
of the Journal, the last only for the immediate present,
we hope, appears the third part of “The Punitive Arti-
cles of War,” by Nathan William MacChesney, U S.R.;
a_report on “The Second Italian Winter Campaign”
(Dec., 1916, to March, 1917), prepared from confiden-
tial sources ; another instalment of “The Weather and
War,” by Professor Robert De C. Ward of Harvard; the
final part of the study of “The Quebec Campaign of
1759,” by Major Robert BE. Wyllie, C.A.C.; and a study
of “The Rochefort Expedition of 1757,” by the same
officer.

The chief article in point of importance at the pres-
- time in the November issue of The Infantry Journal

“Training of Recruits in Time of War.’ This long
ond elaborately detailed study is gio by Lieut.
Col. Edward L. Gruber, Field Art., N.A. (U.S.A.), from
the original by a company commander of a Hanoverian
infantry regiment. Colonel Gruber points out in his
introductory note that the Germans now are trying to
accomplish in three months’ training what was done in
six months in peace times in the way of training a sol-
dier. This study should be full of hints to all officers
engaged in training troops and is also illuminating as
showing how the enemy handles his men before they go
into the trenches. George T. Fry contributes a defense
of the U.S. Army and its officers against the common
attacks of the ignorant civilian; and Major Allien J.
Greer, G.S., U.S.A., writes on “A General Staff Corps
for Our Army.” The Journal reproduces a lecture on
“Bayonet Training” delivered by Capt. Allan L. Briggs,
U.S.A., before the officers’ student class at Leon Springs,
Texas; and an article written by Lieut. Gen. S. B. }
Young, U.S.A., for the American Patriot.

Major Gen. William Harding Carter, U.S.A., in a pa
per entitled “Forward” in the October number of the
Journal of the U.S. Cavalry Association discusses the
lessons that are to be learned from this war, after it is
ended, the need of our making the National Army a
permanent feature of our military system, and of the
doing away with the National Guard as it existed previ-
ous to being federalized. Major Howard R. Hickok, 15th
Cav., contributes a study on “Experimental mage Fir
ing’; Leut. Col. Samuel G. Jones, 13th Cav., collates
“Some Notes on Forage”; and there is rine oe a let
ter on the subject of Cavalry equipment written by the
late Lieut. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, U.S.A.; Capt. O. C.
Troxel, 10th Cav., tells in “The 10th Cavalry in Mexico”
how that regiment ‘ ‘lived on the country.’

Practically the entire letterpress in the October num-
ber of the International Military Digest is devot ted to
topics germane to the war abroad. The matter of the
reorganization of the divisions in the Armies of the
United States is only briefly noted owing to the fact
that when this number was in course of prepar ation
that matter had not advanced to the stage where it could
be treated with the thoroughness the editors of the Digest
insist on, a policy that is one of the many that add to the
value and importance of this monthly.

The greater part of the November number of the Mili-
tary Surgeon is devoted to an account of the annual
meeting of the Association of Military Surgeons of the
United States held at the Medical Officers’ training
camp, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., Oct. 9-10. To
gether with the presidential address made by Surg. Gen.
Rupert Blue, U.S.P.H.S., a roster of new members is
printed and a symposium on the subject of “How_the
Medical Military Services of the Government May Best
Co-operate in Time of War.” Col. Louis A. LaGarde
M.C,, U.S.A., presented the views: of the Army; FP. A.
Surg. W. E. Eaton, U.S.N., for the Navy; and Asst.
Surg. Gen. William Colby Rucker, U.S.P.H.S., for the
Public Health Service. Other articles in this issue are
“A Study of Several Thousand Physical Examinations
of Officers and Applicants for Commissions,” by Licut-
Calvert H. Goddard, M.C., U.S.A., and “Some Aero-
Medical Observations,” by Major Ralph M. Greene, M.
C.,N.G.. Fla

countries where the Marines have been compelled to hike

hours and not between times, proved to be the best

VIEWS OF TWO GERMAN EXPERTS.

Captain Persius, naval expert of the Berliner Tage-
platt, notes a growing impatience among Germans with
the results of the submarine campaign, registered in a
swelling flood of letters demanding an answer to the
question, “When shall we have England beaten?’ He
throws cold water on the optimistic and warns them
against accepting as reliable figures on destroyed ton-
nage, including those apparently German, and other sta-
tistical material. Captain Persius says that with the
1917 harvest and the imports of grain the food problem
can scarcely become a motive, for the next six months
at least, to make Great Britain inclined to conclude
peace. He holds that the submarine question for the
British will be not “Can we continue the war?” but
“Will it pay?” ta ;

Lieut. Gen. von Ardenne, military critic of the same
journal, has written an account of the recent British
offensive in Flanders from that front. No way, he says,
has been devised to prevent the “fire roller,” as the Ger-
mans term the moving barrage, from making slow and
steady gains. He reports the German losses as very
heavy if an attempt is made to hold the front line
trenches in force, while a thin line adds to the speed of
the British advance. ,

“The suffering of the defenders in the front line,”
General von Ardenne writes, “composed of shell holes
almost filled with water, are such that the men must be
relieved every two days, instead of every week or ten
days as last year. The infantry now spends two days
on the firing line, two in support and two in reserve
until relieved. The German artillery is so numerically
inferior to the British that it is seldom relieved, and as
it cannot dig in owing to the boggy terrain it must fire
without cover. ‘The conditions in the shell holes are
such that men falling into the center of them are lost
unless assisted. Horses breaking into the morass are
shot because it is impossible to extricate them. German
counter attacks can traverse the fire roller only by small
detachments in single file. The loss is slight if the

maneuver succeeds—otherwise !

ADVICE FROM ABROAD.

Major Edward Ohnstad, assistant chief of staff, 27th
Division, National Guard, recently received an interest-
ing and instructive letter from an officer in the military
Service of the United States, who has been visiting the
battle front in France and Belgium, from which we make
the following extracts:

“Much attention was paid to the method of relief and
comfort of the men. Hot meals were served three times a
day and the men themselves are required to keep neatly
dressed. So far as possible they require men to keep
their shoes cleaned, their buttons polished and so forth.
It was said this helped to keep up the morale. The Brit-
ish officers informed me they attempted to have their
men shave every day.

“The officers’ messes were excellent. They made an
attempt to dress for dinner. In the matter of dress, I
was greatly embarrassed in this respect. We took with
us our oldest clothes and on arrival found that both Brit-
ish and French officers made a great point of looking as
spick and span as possible all the time. When enter-
taining at dinner they wore white collars and cuffs. Cel-
luloid collars and cuffs were much in vogue, because the
laundry problem is a serious and difficult one, particularly
so far as starched linen is concerned.

“Take plenty of matches and tobacco. Soap is at a
premium, so take plenty of that. You can send parcel
post packages home and have such packages sent to you.
The Post Office Department sells money orders. The
rate of exchange is greater for government checks than
for gold or paper money. Any bank will cash a govern-
ment check, as will the quartermaster and some of the
postal stations. You can probably arrange for a_ per-
sonal checking account in Paris with the Guaranty Trust
Company, of New York, but these personal checks in
France can only be cashed in person at the bank on
which drawn. A good financial arrangement is to have
your pay vouchers, for say December and January, with
the depot quartermaster at Washington, to be placed to
your eredit, when due, with some bank or mail direct
to an individual as you prefer, and cash February on
the other side, and so on in same ratio as that. Put in
a pay voucher for foreign service pay only each month
on the other side. In cashing your pay vouchers in
France the quartermaster will give you any number of
checks. There are banks in all the small towns and they
are glad to cash these checks.

“More attention is paid to training in the School of
the Soldier and Squad than we have ever attempted, or
I should say than we have attempted in recent years.
Every man must have thorough and careful physical
training. The instructor should be one who has had spe-
cial training under some one trained very carefully in
that system.

“The French do not pay much attention to set-up. The
British do and so will we. Indifferent or incompetent in-
structors fail to bring out the disciplinary value of this
class of instruction. Everything possible should’ be done
to develop agility and endurance. You can do no better
than follow the course laid down in ‘Field Physical Train-
ing of the Soldier, War Dept., 1917.’ Bayonet fighting
instruction should also be given by specialists in this
ling and should follow the system laid down in ‘Notes on
Bayonet Training, March, 1917.’ The average company
officer will not do. He must be an especially trained in-
structor. Classes should be small, not more than twenty
to fifty at a time.

“Every man must be a rifleman, a good shot, know
how to throw hand grenades, have some knowledge of
the rifle grenade, know something about the auto rifle,
have individual training in patroling, scouting and so
forth. When the soldiers are well trained in the School
of the Soldier you can adopt any formation such as the
French use with very little difficulty. If well trained it
will not take more than four or five days to be efficient
therein. I would not permit any man to be instructed
m bayonet fighting, grenade throwing, auto rifles or
physical training except by a specially trained instructor.

“The type and manner of saluting sought is that used

to what the correct salute is keep that in mind. I would
insist that the men in ranks, at ease or at rest, must
always stand squarely on both feet, with legs apart, and
never with their hands in front of their bodies. If the
man has a rifle in his hands let him hold that with one
hand, and have the other one at his side or behind his
back. Of course, never with his hands in his pockets.

every man in his platoon. He should be their father-

A PREPAREDNESS PLAN IN 1898.

An address on “The Colleges and National Defense”
made nearly twenty years ago presented a plea for mili-
tary preparedness that was “truly prophetic in view of
the present plan of training officers,” writes a corre-
spondent, who sends a copy of it. It was delivered by
Dr. Charles W. Dabney, as president of the University
of Tennessee, before the Association of Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations, at a meeting in Wash-
ington, D.C., on Nov. 15, 1898, and later issued as a
Department of Agriculture circular.

The law establishing land-grant colleges, Dr. Dabney
said, was passed at a time when the country was in the
midst of a terrible civil war. The supporters of the
Union had learned through bitter experience that the
great need of the Army was trained officers. The sec-
ond purpose of these colleges, one that was almost as
prominent in the mind of the founder—Senator Morrill,
author of the law—as was industrial education, was the
education of young men in military matters, who might
render their country efficient service in any future emer-
gency. Experience in the war with Spain showed that
the time had arrived when we must bring these national
colleges back to their original principles and make them
do the full work for which they were established. They
must do their part in training officets for the greater
Army and Navy which was to protect our new depen-
dencies. The land-grant colleges had by no means failed
in the past of their duty in respect to military educa-
tion. Had they been helped more and been encouraged
more by Congress they would doubtless have done much
more. Dr. Dabney continued:

“The failure of the National Guard in many of our
states was a matter of surprise and mortification; but
when we consider that in a majority of the states their
officers had had no experience whatever in field work,
or even in the occasional encampments, which are little
better than picnics, we can not blame them. If we
would have a reserve of experienced officers we must
take the young men from the colleges and give them
practical training. What the student needs is an in-
centive to take the special course in military training,
through which he will become qualified to serve his coun-
try. This might be accomplished by giving them special
diplomas as military graduates, which would entitle
them to commissions in time of war, brevet commissions

in the National Guard of the states, actual commissions
in the National Guard, or commissions as officers of a
national reserve. Some of them should be given ap-
pointments in the Service Schools, where they could get
advanced professional training. The land-grant and other
military colleges are already turning out a sufficient num-
ber of noble young men who have had the preliminary
military training. A method must be found to keep up
their interest in military science and give them the ex-
perience necessary to make them efficient officers.

“The following measures have been suggested: First,
give commissions in the Regualr Army to all the honor
graduates (say two or three from each college each
year). This would promote a healthful competition
among all the military students. Send these young men
to the Army Service Schools for further training, and
then take them into the Army. Secondly, reorganize
the National Guard or establish a national reserve. The
National Guard should be regularly inspected by the
War Department, and an appropriation sufficient should
be made, large enough to permit of frequent encamp-
ments and maneuvers of sufficient length to give the
officers and men good training in the field. The difficul-
ties of joint co-operation between the National Govern-
ment and the states may be so great, however, as tu
render this plan impracticable. In that case the only
solution will be a national reserve army, officered by the
graduates of these colleges and drilled at regular inter-
vals. The time has come when the Government should
recognize the military departments of these colleges as
actual military colleges. The military department can
no longer be regarded as a plaything. These colleges
deserve, both by reason of their services and the needs
of the nation itself, to receive the careful attention and
earnest support of Congress.”

LIBERTY LOAN NOTES.

From camp, 38th Division, Hattiesburg, Miss., a cor-
respondent writes: “Permit me to quote the following
from a memorandum sent out from headquarters North-
eastern Department, Boston, Mass., Oct. 29, 1917, —re
second Liberty Loan subscriptions: “The largest subscrip-
tion in any single company was in Co. E, 19th Cayv.,
P.F.A.; strength 213; subscribers 211; per cent. 99;
committee, Capt. P. S. Gage.’ In view of a note pub-
lished in your issue of Nov. 10 in regard to the organiza-
tion making the largest showing in this matter, I believe
our figures change this somewhat. In behalf of the or-
ganization, and the interest which I’m sure it would
create when shown on its bulletin board, I should be
much obliged if its record in this connection could be
shown in your columns at an early date.” Company F,
of the 19th Cavalry, which was formerly at Fort Ethan
Allen, Vt., is now Battery E, 77th Field Art., at Hatties-
burg; Capt. P. S. Gage commanding.

The order of standing of the first fifteen organizations
on the Canal Zone, with the average amount subscribed
per man follows: 8th Co., Fort Amador, $218; Ma-

chine-gun Co., 29th Inf., $212; Medical Dept., 29th Inf.,
$205; Co. I, 33d Inf., $192; Co. E, 33d Inf., $174;

Hgars. Co., 5th Inf., $174; Machine-gun Co., 33d Inf.,

$173; Q.M. Detachment, Fort De Lesseps, $169; Ord-
nance Dept., Fort Amador, $168; Co. F, 5th Inf., $168;
Supply Troop, 12th Cav., $168; Co. H, 29th Inf., $164;
Q.M. Detachment, Fort Amador, $163; 4th Co., Fort
Sherman, $157; Medical Dept., Corozal, $155. The total
subscription of the leading organization, the 8th (Mine)
Company, was $24,750; Capt. Levin H. Campbell, com-
manding company; Ist Sergt. David Smith.

Each post had its enlisted cartoonist for illustrating
its moving pictures and many of the cartoons were very
cleverly drawn and amusing, particularly one in the
29th Infantry depicting one soldier upon discharge who
had purchased a Liberty Bond, and another who hadn't.
Each man in one of the regiments found under his plate
at breakfast an appeal to “swat Kaiser Bill” by buying
a bond.

The officers and enlisted men of the Panama Canal De-
partment subscribed handsomely to the second Liberty
Loan, writes a correspondent there. The total amount
subscribed was $1,133,250, or an average of $104 per
man. As soon as Col. G. F. Landers, C.A.C., the de-
partment commander, received cable instructions to in-
stitute the campaign, he appointed a committee consist-
ing of Capt. Charles H. Patterson, C.A.C., the depart-
ment judge advocate, and the adjutants of the various
military posts on the Canal Zone, as follows: Capts. Her-
man Glade, 5th Inf.; Truman W. Garrithers, 33d Inf.;
David McC. McKell, C.A.C.; Lincoln B. Chambers, C.A.
C.; Erle M. Wilson, 29th Inf.; Felix Emmanuelli, P.R.
Inf.; James W Lyon, C.A.C.; Howard Eager, 4th F.A.;
and Lieut. Clifford D. Hindle, C.A.C.

The committee was instructed to institute a vigorous
campaign, and the adjutants through the company com-
manders and certain selected enlisted men in each or-
ganization started the necessary machinery, reporting
daily to department headquarters the amount of the local
subscription. Campaign headquarters telephoned each
day the results to the various posts and by use of the
moving pictures and the Panama City press kept every-
one advised of the standing of the organizations. The
first subscription received was $1,000 from the Machine-
gun Company of the Porto Rico Regiment. Competition
between the regiments and the coast defenses, and be-
tween organizations in each of these units was very keen.
A joint Army and Panama Canal mass meeting was held
Saturday evening, Oct. 20, at the Balboa Baseball
Stadium, where addresses were delivered by the governor,
the Panama Canal, the department commander, and
others. Free railroad transportation was provided by The
Panama Canal, and more than eight thousand soldiers
and civilians were present. Oct. 24 was a Liberty Loan
holiday throughout the isthmus and was the closing day
of the campaign. The order of standing of the various
posts, and the amount subscribed per man, was 48
follows :

Post—Total—Average: Camp at Gatun, $152,000,
129; camp at Gaillard, $196,700, $127; Fort Amador,
161,700, $117; Fort De Lesseps, $14,000, $111; Fort
Sherman, $80,700, $111; Quarry Heights, $21,350, $106;
camp at Empire, $151,100, $103; Corozal, $136,250, $90;

THE QUARTERMASTER CAMP.

The commanding officer of Camp Joseph E. Johnston,
Jacksonville, Fla., Lieut. Col. F. L. Munson, has issued
telegraphic orders postponing the appearance of the first
contingent of second lieutenants until provisions can be
made for their messing. While the camp is rapidly ap-
proaching completion, some unexpected delay has made
it impossible to call in the student officers and men for
some days. The instruction work is rapidly approach-

ing completion. The first edition of text books for the .

officers’ corps are in process of being mimeographed.
There are to be six text books printed for the officers.
The officers who are to be trained in the general quar-
termaster’s duties will complete five of these texts. The
special officers in finance will complete a special text on
finance and accounting and the one on administration.

The administration building of the educational de-
partment has taken on the air of a publishing house,
there being proofreaders, checkers, pressmen, assemblers,
stencil cutters and binders. Each department is in the
hands of an expert drawn from either civil or military
life and each text book is being written by a corps of
men who have had long, practical training in the divi-
sion about which they are writing. The courses for the
enlisted personnel are also giving rise to two text books,
one on the motortruck and one on the motorcycle; both
of which are in process of preparation and will eventu-
ally find their way into printed form.

THEATRICALS AT PLATTSBURG BARRACKS.
Plattsburg Barracks, N.Y., Nov. 14, 1917.

One of the especially interesting and successful fea-
tures of the second Plattsburg training camp has been
the series of entertainments given at the Camp Theater.
Lieut. M. L. Fulcher, of the Headquarters Staff, who
was detailed by Col. Paul A. Wolf, U.S.A., as manag-
ing director of the theater, has presented a series of cur-
rent dramatic productions from Broadway; in each in-
stance the original company and entire scenic and light-
ing equipments have been brought to Plattsburg Bar-
racks for the one performance by special train of Pull-
mans and baggage cars.

The series opened with ‘“‘Mary’s Ankle,” the May
Tully farce, with Irene Fenwick, Walter Jones, Zelda
Sears and the Bijou Theater cast. This was followed
by Laurette Taylor and her company in “Out There,”
the cast including Lynn Fontanne and J. W. Kerrigan.
The third attraction was the original production of
“The Man Who Came Back,” with Henry Hull and
Laura Walker, from the Forty-eighth Street Theater.
This was followed by “Good Gracious, Annabelle,” with
Iola Fisher, May Vokes and Edwin Nicander; “Hitchy
Koo,” with Raymond Hitchcock, Grace LaRue and Rock
and White; Billie Burke in “The Rescuing Angel”;
Jane Cowl in “Lilac Time’; Laura Hope Crews in “Ro-
mance and Arabella’; “The Country Cousin,” with
Alexander Carlisle; “The Very Idea,” with Richard
Bennett and Ernest Truex; and Laurette Taylor in “Peg
o’ My Heart,” with her original New York and London
cast, including H. Reeves Smith and Violet Cooper.

The New York managers through whose courtesy these
attractions have been seen at Plattsburg are W. H.
Woods, George C. Tyler and Klaw & Erlanger, William
A. Brady, Arthur Hopkins, Raymond Hitchcock and PB.
Ray Goetz. The Messrs. Selwyn, Joseph Riter, Ander-
son & Weber and Sam McKee arranged the several all-
star vaudeville bills which have been presented at the
camp.

The visiting artists have been entertained during their
stay at the camp at Quarters No. 20 by Major Ware,
Major Carroll B. Hodges, Major Boschen, Captain
Schroeder, Captain Lang and Lieutenant Fulcher, with
Captain Waterman and Lieutenant Poire as guests and
Mrs. Waterman as hostess.

A modern stage has been built in the gymnasium, with
raised seats, seating approximately 3,000. e evening
lectures and conferences during the week have been held
in the camp theater; also song contests and indoor ath-
letic meets. Special scenery was built, and also interior
sets were furnished by David Belasco and A. H. Woods,
while the special lighting equipment was from the Ward
Leonard Company and the New York Calcium Light
Company, and the pianos from the Charles M. Stieff
Company and the Henry F.. Miller Company. Incidental
music has been furnished by the Fort Totten Coast Ar-
tillry Band, which is at present stationed at Platts-
burg Barracks.

NOTES FROM CAMP GREENE.

Camp Greene, Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 13, 1917.

Camp Greene is now a Regular Army camp. All the
regiments that are under orders to come here heave ar-
rived. Col. Leon S. Roudiez, commanding the 47th
Infantry, led the regiments from Syracuse. The follow-
ing Infantry regiments have arrived to date: 4th, 7th,
30th, 38th, 39th, 50th, 58th, 59th, 60th and 61st. The
6lst was the last to arrive. All these regiments are
from Syracuse or Gettysburg.

With the departure of General Wedgwood, National
Guard, Colonel Jones, 7th Inf., assumed command. Capt.
Rupert L. Purdon, 4th Inf., is camp adjutant: Colonel
Roudiez, 47th Inf., is second in command. ll regi-
ments are comfortably situated. The camp is complete
im every respect. A little more ground for drill purposes
Would be appreciated by most regiments, however. The
47th Infantry is best located. It has three large parade
grounds where battalion parades are held three times a
Week and regimental review once.

The following French officers and non-commissioned
officers are on duty at this camp: Capt. Edward Dv-
Pont, specialist in grenades; Lieuts. Maximi Bucher,
Field Art.; A. Rene Dael, Auto Rifle; Jean Baptiste
Auguste, Field Fortification ; Jacques Mannie Bou-
chaux, Liaison; Sergeants Leon Lexus, Liaison;
Henchle, Field Art.; Gutard, Grenades; Ruellan, Auto

ifle; Comt, Field Fortification. These officers and
Tafa emisatoned officers are all attached to the 47th

antry.

Colonel Roudiez has been put in charge of. the in-
struction of trench warfare in this camp. Under his

direction the French officers are constructing an_excel-
lent course of trenches.

Army Officers’ Uniforms

Made-to-Measure and Ready-to-Wear-Away

Although the government specifies the material of which officers’ uniforms shall be
made, also prescribes how they shall be cut and the general style to be followed, it does
not stipulate the details as to fit and finish. For this reason some uniforms look much
better than others.

We have been able to introduce into the uniforms we have made an amount of careful
styling that has appealed strongly to particular officers.

In addition to offering the best appearing uniforms in service today—because of our
large and efficient organization—we have been able to offer exceptional delivery service
and to supply uniforms when they are wanted.

OUR READY-TO-WEAR-AWAY DEPARTMENT

can supply at once O. D. serge uniforms made from 12, 15 and 18 oz.
— also khaki uniforms and overcoats made from 30 oz. O. D.
tons.

OUR MADE-TO-MEASURE DEPARTMENT

can supply uniforms and overcoats made from any of the accepted
materials in any desired weight.

In addition to uniforms, we are prepared to supply caps, puttees, leather and leather-
lined coats, Sam Browne belts and all necessary insignia.

Send for officers’ equipment booklet ‘and samples of materials.

The following appreciation of Major Gen. Hugh L,
Scott, U.S.A., in the Army and Navy Gazette of Nov. 3
will interest and amuse his friends: “Until the United

States entered the war General Scott, not General Per. 7%

shing, was the most familiar military figure in the
United States, General Wood not excepted. This wag
due to the fact that he served in the Civil War, which
for fifty-seven years was the greatest stimulus to Ameri-
can historical perspective. There is no parallel here,
nor will there be until the war is over, for the infiu-
ence which General Scott exercised in his own country,
He was a national figure, as, to-our shame be it said,
Lord Roberts never was nor Lord Kitchener till Au-
gust, 1914. Then General Scott made a distinguished
record in Indian wars, of which there were several in
the two decades following the Civil War, all of them
caused by the corruption of the Reservation system,
The soldiers, as distinct from the politicians, were in-
variably trusted by the Indian, and so to them fell the
task of arranging peace terms. When he performed it
General Scott was singularly successful, because to
knightliness he added so much sympathy with the In-
dians that he invented a sign language for the purposes
of negotiation which they understood. It will be re-
membered that when the Mexican trouble was at its
worst the Government at Washington turned to General
Scott, for not only was he familiar with frontier war- ~
fare, but his name was one to conjure with on both
sides of the Rio Grande. For many years General Scott
was Chief of the Staff of the American Army, and was
one of the members of the Commission which the United
States sent to Russia soon after the Revolution.” General
Scott deserves all the pleasant things said of him, but
as he was graduated from West Point in 1876 it may.
surprise him to learn of his Civil War service; and his
achievements were in mastering the Indian sign lan

guage rather than in the invention of that ancient means | 3
of intercommunication between tribes of differing tongues. rs

Prompted by the gift of a pair of binoculars to the |
U.S. Navy, made by J. F. Hefflebower, of Sawtelle, Cal,
who is a Civil War veteran, the Navy Department is-
sued an announcement on Nov. 15 quoting Mr. Heffle
bower’s letter and adding: “This letter has suggested to |
the Navy Deparament the availability of a large num. |
ber of binoculars, spyglasses and telescopes now in pri-
vate hands throughout the country. The Navy is in
need of binoculars, spyglasses and telescopes. It is be-
lieved that many owners would gladly turn them over
to the Government for use in the war. It makes little
difference how old these glasses are, so long as they are
in serviceable condition. As the Government cannot ac
cept property or services without compensation, one
dollar will be paid for each glass accepted. They should
be forwarded direct to the Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, care of Naval Obser-
vatory, Washington, D.C. Prompt acknowledgement will
be made. Any glasses received that cannot be of real
use to the Navy will be returned to the sender. It is
requested that a tag bearing the name and address of
the donor be securely attached to the glasses.”

Postmaster Patten, of New York city, advises patrons
of the post office who intend to purchase money orders
as Christmas presents for their friends in European

countries to obtain them by Dec. 1, or as soon thereafter

as convenient. Owing to the war in Europe all mails
for that continent are subject to censorship and delay >
in transit and the transmission of money orders is likely
to take longer than usual, even if intended for payment
in countries not actually in war, and allowance should
be made accordingly. For the U.S. Expeditionary Forces
in Europe, money orders may be issued at domestic rates,
and on domestic forms, payable at the United States
Mail Agency in France. Payment will be made promptly
at headquarters of the agency or at the branch assigned
to the military unit to which the payee belongs. Remit-
ters, in applying for such money orders, should designate,
in the form of application, the office of payment as fol-
lows: “U.S. Army Postal Service.” The name of the
payee, the regiment and company or other organization
to which the payee belongs should follow.

From Camp Dix, N.J., Lieut. Col. Edgar T. Collins,
U.S.A., writes: “The story printed in the New York
Times of Nov. 14 and reprinted in your issue of the 17th,
relative to the vandalism of German troops in Peking in
1900, is incorrect in so far as it pertains to me. I never
had the honor of serving on General Chaffee’s staff nor
was I in China in 1900. The incident was, I believe,
quite generally known throughout the Service, but how
the New York Times came to connect me with it I am at
a loss to know.”

Owing to increase in postage, on and after Dec. 1, 1917,
the charge of postage on copies of the ARMy AND NAVY

postage will be three cents a copy or $1.50 a year; to
Canada two cents a copy or $1 a year. The foregoing

An order was received at the Boston Navy Yard on
Nov. 21 to enroll 5,000 more Naval Reserves in the First
Naval District. Incidentally, there came an order to

call into active service nearly all of the Reservists who
are at present on the rolls but unassigned to duty. The
reason for this action is not made known.

A SLANDER OF THE OLD ARMY.

An unwarranted attack on the United States Army is
Made in the New York Evening Journal in its issue of
Nov. 19, when it says in an editorial printed in large
type: “The soldier of yesterday, the hired mercenary,
Went into the Army because he did not want to work in
Peivil life or because he could not compete.”

Nothing could be more slanderous of the fine body of
‘ficers and men who have composed our little Regular
‘Army since it was first organized in 1789 to the present
time, and no true American editor should permit ‘such a
statement to be printed in his paper. It was the Regu-
lar Army of yesterday that made possible the early or-
‘fanization of the great armies of to-day, as its trained
ficers were scattered throughout commands of the Na-
tional Army and the National Guard in important offices.
Targe numbers of enlisted men of the Regular Army,

tient and thoroughly trained soldiers of long experi-
eice, were advanced to commissioned rank, both in the
Reg.lar Army and the National Army. If it were not for
the Army of yesterday the training of our armies of to-
May would have been well nigh impossible, to bring them
the degree of efficiency necessary to meet the trained
Moops of the enemy at a critical time.

It is untrue that the men in the Army as a body have
tilisted because they did not want to work in civil life.
The larger proportion have enlisted because they liked
Widiering, and they have proved themselves capable, self-

pecting men. Large numbers on‘ leaving the Army
have risen to high positions in civil life, and others who
fntinued in the Service have won high position in the
‘Amy. Do the New York Journal and other newspapers
po the Hearst chain of papers that have over a period
fof some years cast aspersions on our Regular Army put
pmich men as Gens. Adna-R. Chaffee, David L. Brainard.

liam A. Glassford, Charles F. Humphrey, Louis H.

Mirpenter, James W. Scully, Henry W. Wessells, Theo-

Schwan, John W. Clous, William H. Bisbee, Cham-
McKibbin, Theodore A. Baldwin and hundreds of

mer notable officers, including the large numbers ap-
a binted from civil life in the class of “hired mercenaries”
0 entered the Army to avoid work? Yet these and
iMdreds of other Regular Army officers of note first
fan their military careérs as enlisted men in the Regu-
f Army and were a part of the Army of yesterday.
=e same Army has furnished hundreds of officers from
MS enlisted men. The Army of yesterday also included
sands of West Pointers, in high and low commands,

eM did these go to West Point because they did not
prant to “work” in civil life? Let anyone who thinks so

W the course of rigid and arduous training that a West
Senter must undergo.

Tt was the Army of yesterday that made possible the

: lopment of our great country, when the tide of emi-
ation set West. It has ever been ready in nationa?

mities as well as in war. In any great calamity or

#, earthquake or fire devastation the Army was the

agency called upon to give food and shelter to the
‘unates. In the terrible winter campaigns against
ans in the seventies and ’eighties, the handful of

poorly supplied, poorly paid men, performed the most
heroic duty on the plains, amid untold hardships and
sufferings until they finally defeated the enemy. These
men were a part of the Army of yesterday. The first
men of Pershing’s Army in France, killed on the battle
front, belonged to the Army of yesterday, which the
New York Journal so despises, classing brave soldiers as
hired mercenaries, too lazy to work in civil life. The
Regular Army of yesterday, and the Regular Army of
to-day are one and the same except in size. The Army
always has been an honor to the nation, as it is to-day.
It was a volunteer Army yesterday, as it is to-day, officers
and men entering it voluntarily, and it is essentially an
Army of the people. Malicious slurs on the dead and the
living of the Regular Army, who have served the country
so faithfully and well, deserve to be suppressed, especially
in war time.

“NEWS FROM THE FRONT.”

It is an unquestionable statement that the United
States never went to war with so many professional
journalists engaged in its service professionally as in
the one that Army officers are referring to at present as
the “War of 1917.” And we have never had a war that
has been so badly “reported.” All soldiers and serious
military students know that it is quite as necessary to
keep up the morale of a nation as it is to maintain the
morale of a nation’s fighting men. And they also know
that so far as the people at home are concerned there is
nothing so helpful toward this end as simple direct re-
ports of movements at “the front.” A classical recent
instance of this was furnished by *England at the begin-
ning of the present war, despite the fact that England
is notorious for mishandling military and naval news in
war time. Although the Germans drove the first British
expeditionary force halfway across Belgium and almost
to the gates of Paris the now famous “Eye Witness”
sent those daily reports of the retreat from Mons in a
style so frank, clear cut and illuminating that they will
always remain as superb illustrations of war corre-
spondence at its highest estate. In contradistinction to
this we had the experience of the British Admiralty’s
bungling of the news of the battle of Jutland, when, for
twenty-four hours, the world believed that the German
High Seas Fleet had almost annihilated Britain’s navy.
England has learned her lesson that the people want to
know the truth about the troops and the ships. And now
we have General Maurice’s admirable weekly reports and
comments on the fighting on land to hearten us along with
our other Allies.

One of the finest traits of human nature is that it
shows at its best, as a rule, in adversity. England,
France, Rumania, Italy, all have proved this more than
once in the present war and, so far as the war news is
concerned, they have been told the truth and told it
quickly. But with us it would appear our professional
journalists connected with the Committee on Public In-
formation have not vet learned this salutary lesson. Not
even the British Admiralty’s delay in reporting the Jut-
land battle could compare with the way we learned of
the German submarine attack on Rear Admiral Gleaves’s
Any practical newspaper man is willing to
admit that no one can report a sea fight so convincingly
as the naval officer in command. Yet we know what was
done to the report of the attack on that convoy! It is
not too much to say that the faith of the American people
in the U.S. Navy was lowered immeasurably by that
bombastic, unconvincing report of an engagement that
was carried out splendidly by our officers and men. This
policy of lack of judgment in handling naval news was
further illustrated when the news came that one of our
patrol fleet in European waters was sunk. Instead of re-
porting the name of the craft at once, ‘to the great relief
of everyone with a relative in the American Navy, that
information has never been published. Thus when the
U.S.S. Alcedo was sunk many papers announced that
vessel as our first loss.

Our news of land warfare -is quite as badly handled.
The War Department and the Committee on Public In-
formation apparently have not thought it worth while as
yet to issue daily bulletins of permissible information as
to the movements of our troops abroad, although a nation
of a hundred million people are hungering for such infor-
mation. The public over here does not know just where
our troops are stationed in France, nor-where they are
fighting; and in this respect we are unlike any other bel-
ligerent nation in the world to-day. It is information ap-
parently so well known on the other side that its suppres-
sion here can hardly be regarded as concealing informa-
tion from the enemy. What news the correspondents
abroad are permitted to send is fragmentary and in most
cases incredibly silly. War may have sobered many
men in the world, but it does not seem to have had this
effect on American journalists. The people of America
deserve better treatment than this. They are giving their
men, their women, their ships, their food, their money
to the war. All they ask in return is some truthful news,
however brief, of that one thing which crystalizes all
their effort, the fighting, or guarding, or marching “over
there.” When it takes twelve days to issue a complete
list of a raid with twenty-five casualties the people can
hardly be said to have their war “reported” well for
them.

OUR CROWDED CAPITAL.

One of the time-honored customs of the Service has
been that of officers, when ordered to duty or station
which takes them out of the country, sending their fami-
lies to reside in Washington pending their return. The
explanation has been obvious: The national capital, as
the center of the government departments, always in-
cludes in its population a certain number of Army and
Navy folk. The officer ordered away could be certain
that his wife would be able to find among these some
friends from a former station. Moreover, the commis-
sary and medical departments were convenient and of
such size as to guarantee immediate and adequate ser-
vice along these lines. Accommodations were moderate
in price and easy to obtain.

The ARMY AND Navy JOURNAL has been requested to
bring to the attention of the Service the great changes
which have taken place within the past half-year, which
make this custom no longer advisable. Washington is
congested to an unprecedénted degree as a result of the
every Government department. Housing
facilities are inadequate even for the needs of the thou-
sands of military and civilian attachés at work in the
various bureaus; the neeessities of life are abnormally
high and difficult to obtain at any price. Added to all
this, the Army commissariat has announced that no new
customers will be enrolled and the Quartermaster Corps
is unable to lend the usual assistance in getting the new
arrivals settled. It has been suggested to us that, in
view of these conditions, officers who have contemplated
sending their families to Washington when their orders
for foreign service arrive, might feel constrained to fore-
go these plans, .

A committee of earnest, if misguided, gastronomic ex-
perts has been persistent recently in its effort to have
the prescribed Army ration modified so as to conform
with the national campaign for food economy, or with
some individual hobby as to calories or whatnot. This
committee has been informed that no change will be made
in the Army ration, since it is believed to be the best
that has ever been adopted, and Since, in the opinion of
every authority called in by the Government, it has op-
erated to give our soldiers the highest percentage of nutri-
ment with the minimum of waste. The Quartermaster
General and the Surgeon General, U.S.A., were present
at the most recent of the series of conferefices upon the
subject of changing the Army ration and both officers
expressed the opinion that has been cited. Attacking
the ration as extravagant, one opponent said that he had
been informed that the Canadian commissary depart-
ment operated at less cost per man and yet obtained a
more satisfactory combination of edibles. A representa-
tive of the Canadian department, who happened to be
present, was asked to verify this statement. He said:
“Our ration costs about forty-three cents per mah, or,
adding three centg for delivery, forty-six cents. It is
almost precisely the same as yours, having been built
upon your formule.” The daily ration of the U.S.
Army is estimated to cost around forty-eight cents per
man at this time.

Scores of cases in which men have been notified that they
were selected for service in the National Army and after
resigning positions in civil life have learned that they
will not be called until later, have been brought to the
attention of the Provost Marshal General, As a result
of such postponement many of the recruits -have suf-
fered real privation. ‘To correct this situation, Major
Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, U.S.A., has notified local and
district boards that such men will be permitted to enter
the National Army cantonments upon their personal ap-
plication. “This authority must Le sparingly used,’
said General Crowder, “to relieve cases of real hardship
only, and the number of men sent from any state shall
not exceed one per cent. of that state’s quota.”

To those who doubted the loyalty of the Middle West
before the United States went to war and were not at
all loath to express that opinion we respectfully call at-
tention to the following fact: Out of the five American
soldiers killed thus far in the trenches in France, four
soldiers killed thus far in the trenches in France, three
are from those states, one from Pennsylvania, and one
from Massachusetts.

ARMY AND NAVY JOURNAL.

November 24, 1917.

An officer of the Navy sends with an approving com-
ment an editorial protest by the Christian Science Moni-
ter against those who institute labor strikes in time of
war. “The striker,” it says, “must be looked upon, not
merely as a discontented and an unwilling workman in
private employment, but virtually as a disaffected sol-
dier in the nation’s service. It is a mistake to suppose
that the entire responsibility for the carrying on of this
war rests with the Government, or with the forces which
the Government is sending to the front. It is a respon-
sibility that must be shared by all. The man who stays
at home receives several times the amount of a soldier’s
wages, enjoys the comforts of a peaceful existence, and
is in line for any promotion or advantage that may re-
sult from searcity in the labor market. The soldier
hopes and expects, when he dons a uniform and
accepts, say $30 a month, in lieu of $150, or $300, or
$500, that the man who stays at home will faith-
fully and loyally do his part as a_ citizen. The
man who stays at home, instead of faithfully doing
his part proceeds, in many cases, to exhibit discontent,
to promote it among others, perhaps to make » business
of inciting disaffection and encouraging strikes among
his brother workers. Such a man is false to a sacred
trust. If his purpose is to interfere with the production
of anything needed in the conduct of the war he virtually
is a trait: f he is acting on the instigation of enemy
agents or § in ignorance of their real motives in get-
ting him .* ;trike, he may be more dangerous, if less
criminal, t:@: the enemy conspirator himself. Upon
many of both classes it seems necessary to impress the
fact that the war in which the United States is engaged,
and to the vigorous prosecution of which it has pledged
everything precious which it possesses, must be won
partially by those who stand beltind the men who stand
behind the guns. This is the simple truth of the matter.
Strikes, with the interruption of production, with the
industrial demoralization, with the economic strife they
involve, and with the encouragement and help they give
to the enemy, certainly tend to prolong the war. It is
just as essential to victory that every man shall,be at
his place in the shop, mill or factory as that:every sol-
dier’ shall be at his post at the front. The American
workman who lays down his tools and strikes at this
period is, morally, in no degree less culpable than the
soldier who throws down his gun or mutinies.”

Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt paid a visit to Camp
Upton on Nov. 18, made two addresses to the officers
and men of the National Army at that cantonment, and
had a “reunion” with Major Gen. J. Franklin Bell, U.
S.A., and Lieut. Col. Henry L. Stimson, N.A., formerly
Secretary of War. Mr. Roosevelt also shook hands with
a number of old veteran soldiers from the 9th and 10th
U.S. Cavalry, now officers and non-coms in the 367th
(colored) Infantry, who served in the same division
with his Rough Riders in the Spanish war. Next to his
insistence on absolute victory and his stinging attacks
on conscientious objeciors, the principal hit with the
men was the Colonel’s demand that, with universal train-
ing after the war, every appointment to West Point
should be made from those who had proved themselves
in the ranks. And every appointment to Annapolis, he
added, should be made from men who have served a year
in the Navy as seamen. In addition, the Colonel had two
points which he wished to drive home. ‘The first, directed

to the white soldiers, was that they should respect the:

uniform of the colored men— men whose color had
proved its metal under the flag long ago. The second to
the colored regiment. This was to insist that if they at
any: time thought they were not well treated they “should
shua as they would the plague any fool who wants them
to brawl about it. If they feel that injustice is done to
them,” he said, “they should appeal to their officers, who
would see to it that justice would be done. And ‘if you
don’t behave yourselves you may know that you'll get
it too.”

The report to the Surgeon General of the Army as to
hea}th conditions at Nationa! Guard camps and Na-
tional Army cantonments for the week énding Nov. 9 is
summarized as follows: “Of the National Guard camps,
those composing the troops from northern states show
very much less sickness of a communicable nature. Ex-
tensive outbreaks of measles exist at Camp Sevier, Camp
Wheeler, Camp Bowie and Camp Shelby. A considerable
increase in measles cases is probable at other camps com-
posed of recruits from southern states, viz.: Camp Beau-
regard and Camp Doniphan. Thirty-four new cases of
pneumonia were reported at Camp Wheeler and thirty-
nine at Camp Bowie. Eight cases of meningitis were
reported from National Guard cantonments: Sevier, two;
Doniphan, two; Kearny, four. In the National Army,
as in the National Guard, the camps composed of north-
ern troops show much better health conditions than those
whose personnel comes from southern states, with the
exception of Camp Funston, where twenty-four new
cases of pneumonia and nine new cases of meningitis were
reported during the week. Other communicable diseases
have occurred at this camp—mumps, scarlet fever, diph-
theria, smallpox and chickenpox. At Camp Pike 683
eases of measles were reported and seventy-six cases of
pneumonia. Camp Jackson—370 cases of measles. All
reports indicate that the type of measles is mild in char-
acter and that few complications are occurring among
the cases. Mortality reported among pneumonia cases
is also low.”

There is one thing in the United States that is costing
less than anyone figured on. It is our war expenses. In
a speech before the Investment Bankers’ Association at
Baltimore on Nov. 14 Secretary of the Treasury Mce-

Adoo said that Government expenditures are running far
below estimates given to Congress and predicted that the
amount of money still to be raised for the fiscal year
would not exceed $10,000,000,000. He said: “Vague and
unfounded apprehensions seem to exist in the public
mind as to the extent of the financial requirements of the
United States during the current fiscal year. It may be
helpful to the country to know that these requirements
have been greatly exaggerated, and that in the judgment
of the Secretary of the Treasury there is no reason what-
ever for apprehension on this score. his opinion is
based upon the latest estimates of our financial needs.
Though the estimated ordinary expenditures (excluding
advances to the Allies) for the year average about a
billion a month, the ordinary expenditures for the four
months’ period ended Oct. 31 have been only §1,-

296,000,000, or at the rate of $324,000,000 a month.
For instance, the expenditures for the War Department
for the four months’ period have been fifty per cent. less
than was estimated by that Department for that period,
It may be confidently expected, therefore, that the actual

expenditures for the balance of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1918, will. not. exceed the. estimates.”

A non-comniissioned. officer of the Army stationed at
Camp Jackson, S.C., noted in the neighboring town of
Columbia the advertisement of a “Hallowe’en Hop for
Officers, Civilians and Students.” He writes: “I have
been in the Service for seven years and have never in all
my life seen or heard of a public dance advertised where
enlisted men were given the hint to keep away. The
committee who arranged this affair must have forgotten
that the enlisted personnel of our great Army have bu-
man feelings as well as intelligence. Our country at
present is engaged in the most-serious war that has ever
been known and this is no time to discriminate when
each individual in our army is working hard to get into
military shape to do whatever may be required of him,
even if it is at the cost of his own life. If this Hallow-
e’en hop was to have been run exclusively for officers,
the writer could have seen it was for the sake of disci-
pline, but where it included civilians and students and
not soldiers, | wish to question it. During my time in
Washington, D.C., about five years ago, a high ranking
Army officer stated that when he entered a theater he
would much rather sit by a soldier than any one else, for
the mere reason he knew that he was sitting next to a
well-behaved man. If such men as these are willing to
sit by us in theaters, why should we be told indirectly
that we are not welcome at public places where every
one else is?”

In his review of the military operations for the week
ending Nov. 17, Secretary Baker makes this statement
regarding the situation around Passchendaele: “After
the successes gained by the Allies in the West during the
preceding week, the relative calm of the last seven-day
period was to be anticipated. It is significant, however,
that the reaction of theeenemy has been relatively slight
both in the region north of the Aisne and in Flanders.
Five days elapsed before any hostile attempts were made
to regain the grour recently won by the Canadians be-
yond Passchendaele, and this effort was repulsed without
difficulty. At this season of the year the sodden, fog-
bound fields of Flanders and the bad weather which pre-
vails along the entire western front make it difficult to
co-ordinate major operations with precision. Neverthe-
less, artillery preparation has continued in the two chief
theaters of activity in the west, presaging further offen-
sive engagements. Roulers, the ultimate objective, is now
less than five miles distant, and from their positions on
the heights of Passchendaele Allied artillery fully com-
mands the approaches to this pivotal position.”

At least one of the horrors of peace is to be eliminated
by war. The Mayor’s Committee of Women met recently
in New York city to formulate rules of conduct to be
observed at dances to be given for the benefit of enlisted
men. It was decided, among other things, that “jazz
bands” would not be permitted. The committee’s official
announcement says: “Any music resembling that of a
‘jazz band’ has proved too appealing to the tomboy im-
pulse, which no honored uniform can quite eliminate
from the hearts of men—and girls.” Military uniforms
will be considered sufficient introduction for admission
to the dances, the announcement adds, but a letter from
the regimental chaplain or commanding officer is pre-
ferred. Girls will not be admitted unless personally
known to the hostess or bear with them an introduction
from some approved organization.” Chaperons must be
provided in sufficient numbers. Soft drinks only. “Home,
Sweet Home” at eleven o’clock sharp.

Writing of experiences at the U.S. Medical Officers’
Training Camp, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., a cor-
respondent of the New York Medical Journal says:
“When you leave home you ought at once forget that you
are a licensed practitioner of medicine; for the Army
needs not so much a physician as it does a military sur-
geon, with the word military in capital letters. You are
to be made over into a soldier who will positively obey
orders and not insist on continuing the czar he was
among his patients, a thing only too natural with all of
us medicos. And how easy such transmutation is is
shown you by the daily patent fact that whoever has
‘joined’ is more than satisfied, nay, even enthusiastic.
In this melting pot of military training real democracy
is bred and truly exemplified and proved. Real man-
hood is brought out, the unfit in mind and body elimin-
ated, and who would wish to miss the opportunity of
proving himself a real man?”

That German pressure on the British troops in France
cannot be as severe as it has been represented by some
alarmists is shown by a statement issued by the British
War Minister concerning the number of men given leave
from the front. This report-states that on June 20 the
number of men in France who had been without leave
for eighteen months was 107,748, and on Aug. 28 it had
been reduced to 36,583. ‘Therefore 71.165 of the men who
had been longest away without leave had got leave by the

end of August. The number who had been out twelve
months or more ‘without leave was 403,596 on July 28.
and had been reduced to 319,775.0n Aug. 28. The total
number who had been given leave in that month wags
83,821, made up of 49,156 12-months’ men and 34.665
18-months’ men. Field Marshal Haig keeps impressing
on the War Office the great desirability of granting as
many facilities as possible for the men of the army to
have leave at home.

The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United
States has now established national. headquarters in con-
junction with club’ rooms of the Pennsylvania Com-
mandery in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, Philadel hia.
The quarters are located on the Walnut strect corner of
Bellevue court, first floor of the hotel, and were opened
on Nov. 15. <A special arrangement has been made with
the hotel whereby companions of. the order in active ser-
vice temporarily in, Philadelphia may secure rooms at
a special rate. Living, writing and reading rooms are
provided at the club rooms, lists of desirable outside ac
commodations are on file and mail for companions will be
held or forwarded. Brig. Gen. S. W. Fountain, U.S.A.
retired, commander general of the order, will make the
above location his headquarters, which will be under the
particular direction of Capt. Ogden D. Wilkinson, treas-
urer general and secretary of the Pennsylvania Com-
mandery.

The War Departuient has decided to depart in at least
one instance from its stated policy of withholding from
the National Army ‘regiments all-permission to tak art
in civic parades or demonStrations. ‘The exception will
be in the case of the bi-centennial celebration of the
founding of New Orleans, scheduled to take place Feb,
d to 11 inclusive, 1918. One regiment from Camp
Beauregard, La, and one from Camp Shelby, Miss.. will
be in New Orleans for those days. Col. W. S. Graves
(Inf.), Secretary of the General Staff, in announcing
this decision to a Louisiana delegation, stated frankly
that the reason their request had been granted was “in
view of the compliment paid thereby to France.” He
added that the only contingency which would lead to a
withdrawal of the permission would be “in case a greater
compliment was being paid France at that time by send-
ing her all the men in those camps.”

Tests of the new standard military trucks have been
so satisfactory that contracts for different parts wil! be

bling plants has been announced to date: The Gramm-
Bernstein Company, Lima, Ohio, and the Selden Motor
Vehicle Company, Rochester, N.Y. Contracts already
placed will provide the parts necessary for assembling
10,000 trucks. Deliveries are to begin in January and
the whole consignment will be completed by June. En-
durance tests have shown that the heavy truck can aver-
age125 miles a day on heavy roads, one machine making
the record of 3.95 miles per gallon of gasoline while haul-
ing a full load of three and a half tons in addition to its
“crew” of four men.

A substantial saving in the quantity of cloth that is
used for samples by tailors to the trade in the United
States is assured by an agreement which has been made
as a result of conferences with the Commercial Economy
Beard of the Council of National Defense. The entire
industry with the exception of three firms is pledged to
send out no samples larger than six by nine inches. The
cloth used for these samples last year totaled 1,037,000
yards. The saving therefore is 225,108 yards, worth, at
current prices, $419,500, and representing enough wool
to uniform 67,600 soldiers.

Berlin denies the statement made by the British Ad-

engagement of Nov. 17 off Helgoland. It says, however,
that “a fishing steamer is missing.” Of course, one
must assume that the German navy does not use fishing
steamers as mine sweepers. Maybe they use their idle
battleships for that purpose.

WAR RISK INSURANCE.

Applications for more than $552,000,000 of life in-
surance had been received by the Military and Naval
Division of the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance of the
Treasury Department up to the close of business on Nov.
17. This represents a little more than one month’s op-
eration of the War-Insurance Act. Under the law, sol-
diers, sailors, marines and nurses in active service, in
addition to family allowances and death and disability
compensation furnished by the Government without
charge, may buy from the Government life insurance up
to $10,000 at a rate of from 65 cents a month at age 21
to $1.20 a month at age of 51, for each $1,000 of in-
surance.

Since Oct. 8 the Military and Naval Division of the
Bureau of War-Risk Insurance has received 64,168 ap-
plications, representing insurance of $552,093,000. The
average amount of insurance applied for, counting offi-
cers and men, is $8,603. Applications are coming in at
the rate of approximately four or five thousand a day—
often close to six thousand. The amount of insurance
applied for on a given day ranges from twenty to fifty
million dollars. These figures do not include applications
from the American overseas forces, which are known to
be substantial. The first formal applications from France
are not expected to arrive in Washington for several
weeks,

Col. C. R. Howland, N.A., 343d Infantry, Camp Grant,
Iil., in a letter received by the Treasury Department on
Nov. 17, said that he was forwarding in two registered
mail sacks 14,037 applications totaling $9,515,500.
“This makes a total of insurance written by me in this
division of $109,376,500,” said Colonel Howland. The
igures given by Colonel Howland have not been added
to the official totals, because the applications are not
yet to hand.

WORK OF THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

he Corps of Engineers of the Army since April 6,
1917, has not only been supplying the engineer equip-
men for an army of a million men, but has undertaken
the unprecedented task of furnishing railroads complete
from the United States for operation in France. From
March 1 to Nov. 1 the Corps of Engineers increased its
personnel from 256 officers on the active list to 394 offi-
cers and fourteen retired officers on active duty, and in
addition has commissioned more than 5,000 Reserve offi-
cers. The enlisted force has expanded from 2,100 to
95,000, and there has also been a heavy increase in
civilian employees. The enlisted strength of the Corps
on March 1 consisted of three Engineer regiments of
peace strength and one mounted company. On May 15
four remaining increments authorizea—by the -National
Defense Act increased the enlisted strength of the
Corps of Engineers of the Regular Army to seven regi-
ments and two mounted battalions, all of which have
been raised to war strength. In addition, nine railroad
regiments and one forestry regiment have been raised
as part of the National Army. Seventeen pioneer regi-
ments have been authorized as part of the National
Army and are rapidly organizing. National Guard
units, equivalent to about seven regiments, have been
called into the Federal service, and their reorganization
into seventeen pioneer Engineer regiments for the seven-
teen divisions of National Guard troops is well under
way.

Iingineer officers training camps were established in
each of the sixteen training camp areas, the number of
candidates for Engineer commissions taken from each
camp being 150. After further training in the same
camps with candidates for commissiows in other
branches of the service the Engineer sections were trans-
ferred to three Engineer training camps with special
facilities for technical instruction, one in the vicinity
of Washington, one at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., and one
at Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Instruction was
continued there for two months. In August 1,900 can-
didates were graduated and are now holding commis-
sions. Large numbers of Engineer graduates of train-
ing camps have been assigned to new regiments and
special units are being organized and the training of en-
listed men in the National Army will be lurgely under
their supervision. A number are in France for special
training. On Dee. 1 about 1,200 Engineer Reserve offi-
cers will be graduated from a second Engineer officers
training camp.

A duty imposed on the Engineers has been the pur

chase of the necessary engineer equipments for more
thau one million men. The Urgent Deficiencies Act ap-
propriated for the purpose amounts aggregating in ex-
cess of $150,000,000, an amount comparable with the
purchases of material, equipment and supplies for the
Panema Canal during the ten years of its construction.
The act provides $198,100,000 additional for engineer

purposes, and it is expected that all of this will be ex-
pended during the present fiscal year. In the work for
the fiscal year 1916 one officer and twenty-one civilian
employees were engaged in making purchases aggregat-

ing $550,000. On Noy. 1, 1917, the purchasing force
had been increased over 1,000 per cent. to fifty-two offi-

nd 198 civilians. All but two of these officers were
ex ned and commissioned in the Reserve Corps after
th itbreak of war. ‘

September 7, two weeks after receipt of instruc-

ti equipment was en route to the various National
G | and National Army organizations at cantonments
throughout the country. These shipments comprised a
tot f about 48,000,000 pounds in some 64,000 separate
cases and packages. By Novy. 1 the outstanding obliga-
tio m orders placed for engineer material, equipment
and supplies aggregated $130,000,000, and disbursements
it iyments for material had reached the sum of
%15.000,000 per month.

ther important task of the Engineers has been to
Pp e efficient methods for the receipt, storage and ship-
m« abroad, with proper accounting system, for this
mass, of supplies, as well as for the vast equipment for

leld operations and construction work. The Engineers
or Railway Section have undertaken to transport,
and install and put into operation over seas, a complete
ra id equipment, involving the organization, equip-
Meut and military training of railroad troops and the
pu ise, inspection and shipment of immense quantities
of railroad equipment necessary for the deveiopment of
4acequate port facilities, construction of new lines and
their successful operation in France.

trained officials in various departments of. American

Tailroads were called upon for the officers, and experi-
en railroad employees for the enlisted men, of the
nu ailroaé regiments, each of thirty-three officers and

&pproximately 1,100 men. These regiments were organ-

ized for operating railroads, every class of operatives
being provided; five regiments were organized for con-
struction. The cost of materials ordered to date is ap-
proximately $70,000,000, including some hundreds of loco-
motives, more than 100,000 tons of steel rails, more than
3,000 complete turnouts, 500,000 ties, 12,000 freight
cars, 600 fill and ballast cars, 600 miles of telphone wire,
and apparatus, as well as vast quantities of construction
and repair equipment.

An organization of Engineers was prepared for the
construction in France of piers, storehouses, terminal
stations, hospitals, cantonments, roads, water supplies,
sewage disposal plants, lighting plants and similar con-
struction. A vast amount of timber and other supplies
was purchased. Within four days of the receipt of Gen-
eral Pershing’s cablegram asking for certain steel build-
ings, designs had been prepared, competitive bids secured
and orders placed for thirty-day delivery. The Engineers
have also undertaken the work of organizing and equip-
ping special troops for special services, such as lumber
supply, road construction, sanitary construction, camou-
flage service, gas and flame service, mining work, map-
ping, ete.

Preferred attention has been given to the organization
and equipment of the first forestry regiment, to be sent
to France to produce lumber and timber from French
forests. Three additional regiments are to be organized.
The co-operation of the forestry service of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has been extended. About eighty
per cent. of the forestry regiment’s equipment, value
$350,000, has been delivered for shipment, weighing over
2,000 tons, with twelve saw-mills, truck and railway
equipment and everything necessary to produce over four
million board feet of finished lumber per month. In addi-
tion to all of these duties the Engineer Corps has main-
tained its regular service in the preservation and im-
provement of navigable waters in the United States and
construction of coast defenses. New batteries are being
pushed to completion with energy.

COMPTROLLER’S DECISIONS.

Travel orders issued by subordinates are not accept-
able to the accounting officers, the Comptroller states in
an opinion written to an officer of the Ordnance Depart-
ment in charge of a large purchasing office. He writes
that “this office has no information of the authority of
an assistant to an inspector of ordnance to issue travel
orders”; adding: “The order of the administrative officer
under whom these inspectors and assistants operate
should be required, unless proper reasons be shown for
doing otherwise.”

No one inferior in: rank to the Secretary of War can
issue an order yor an officer of the Officers’ Reserve Corps
to go on active service and therefore “it must follow,”
the Comptroller says, “in the absence of a contrary in-
tent found in the statute, that the power of relieving him
from active duty rests with the Secretary of War and is
unauthorized if exercised without his direction.”

Since during the existing emergency, the money allow-
ance for clothing is suspended and the clothing allowance
of a member of the Marine Corps Reserve is to be only
“the kind and quantity of clothing necessary and adequate
for the service upon which he is engaged’’ and will be
issued gratuitously, the Comptroller gives it as his opin-
ion that “the credit for uniform gratuity should be sus-
pended for enrolled members of the Marine Corps Re-
serve until such time as the suspension of clothing allow-
ance to enlisted member is lifted.’ The money clothing
allowance of enlisted men in the Marine Corps was sus-
pended to be effective July 15, 1917, the rule applying
to the men enrolled in the Reserve. If there was any
balance standing to an enrolled man’s credit, on and
after July 15, 1917, in his clothing account the Comp-
troller states it should not be paid in cash nor is there
any authority to pay this balance due should the man
be discharged from his enrolment by death or otherwise
before the clothing allowance suspension be lifted.

COLLAR INSIGNIA.

A subparagraph (f) recently added to what was for-
merly Paragraph 24 of the Uniform Regulations (Par.
27, Special Regulations 41) was overlooked in a recent
reference to the matter of officers’ insignia in these eol-
umns. By virtue of this regulation permanent officers
of the Regular Army continue to wear the monogrammic
letters “U.S.A.,”’ while appointed to or commissioned in
the National Army or other subdivision of the Army of
the United States. We quote the regulation referred to:

“27 (f) Officers serving by appointment or under com-
mission in another subdivision of the Army than that in
which they hold permanent commissions shall wear the
monogrammic letters of that subdivision of the Army in
which they hold permanent commissions, and the in-
signia of the new rank and the insignia of the corps, de-
partment, or arm of service in which commissioned at
the time.” (C.U.R. No. 21, July 25, 1917.)

The monogrammic lettering for the various subdivisions
is fixed in Par. 81. as follows:

“For the Regular Army the letter ‘U.S.’; for the Vol-
unteer Army the letters “US.Y.’; for the Officers’ Re-
serve Corps and the Enlisted Reserve Corps the letters
‘U.S.R.’; for the National Guard drafted into Federal
service the letters ‘N.G.’ superimposed on the letters
‘U.S.’; for the National Army the letters ‘N.A.’ super-
imposed on the letters ‘U.S.’ ”

THE NEED OF SWEATERS.
Publication recently of interviews
faker and_ Daniels on the subject of knitting for the
Army and Navy has given a widespread impression that
such work was not essential, as men in the Services had
plenty of warm clothing. Such a stir has been raised
that Secretary of War Baker thought it nec
make the following statement on Nov. 17:
“An apparent misunderstanding has arisen in some
quarters regarding the attitude of the War Department
toward the knitting of sweaters and comforts for our sol-
diers. The department has in no sense discouraged the
furnishing of such garments through the American Red
Cross and is appreciative of the spirit wich prompts
American women in their knitting for the troops.
“It is trve that a sweater is not incluuded in the regu-
lar equipment of the Army and it is not regarded as an
absolutely essential garment. However, a_ knitted

with Secretaries

ssary {to

sweater is a garment of great service and constitutes a
welcome addition to a soldier’s equipment, particularly
wen the soldier is on duty in the rigorous winter cli-

mate in France. While the department itself has not
officially called upon any organization to supply sweat-
ers, certain divisions of the Army have made such requi-
sitions and have been gratified that the supply was avail-
able. The work of American women who desire to add
this comfortable article to the clothing supplied the_sol-
—_ the War Department is worthy of encourage-
ment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE.

The vital importance of discipline to the success of
any army cannot be realized too seriously by the many
thousands of new officers and men now making up our
armies. Discipline is the very foundation of military
success, and without it there can be none. This fact
meets very timely comment in an official bulletin re-
cently issued from the headquarters of Major Gen. 8. P.
Blocksom, National Army (Brigadier General, U.S.A.),
commandirg the 34th Division, National Guard, at
Deming, N.M. This bulletin, which is of general inter-
est and which should be borne in mind by all, says:

“Personal bravery, initiative and the other excellent
soldierly qualities which cause the soldier’s name to be
mentioned in dispatches are well enough in their way,
and highly desirable; and all American armies from
the beginning have been distinguished by these more ob-
vious virtues. But what wins battles among the trenches
of Flanders today is not individual bravery alone, but
discipline. Discipline means a subordination of the in-
dividual to the mass of which he is'a unit. It means
thorough organization, perfect obedience, prompt carry-
ing out of orders; in a word, an attitude of all for one
and one for all.

“We have still a long way to go to perfect the disci-
pline of this organization. There is often laxity at
drills; officers’ commands are given as though they were
not meant to be obeyed; men half-heartedly obey as
though surprised at being called on to do anything;
slouchiness in the gait when there should be the thrill
of concerted effort; a lack of respect of soldiers toward
officers as shown by slipshod or pipe-or-cigar-in-hand sa-
lutes, and lack of respect of officers to soldiers as shown
by a listless response. ‘These are a few of our undisci-
plined habits. It is true that an army does not win a
battle by executing squads right correctly, or by saluting
officers when they approach, but it is true that an army
that can execute squads right in correct step and rhythm
will also advance undisturbed behind a barrage, and a
soldier who habitually salutes will also habitualy obey,
when obedience means victory and disobedience defeat.
More than a reference to the letter by General Per-
shing on saluting is unnecessary in this place.

“It is not the purpose here to discourage personal ini-
tiative; but only the disciplined soldier knows when to
use it best, and when it leads to victory. Undisciplined
initiative is foolhardiness.”’

The fatal consequences of lack of discipline are seen
in the present demoralization of the great Russian army,
the largest in Europe.

GOOD FEELING TOWARD JAPAN.

Mrs. Frances Hawkes Cameron. Burnett, who has
taken the deepest interest in the people of Japan ever
since her husband, Major Charles Burnett, U.S.A., was
military attaché at our legation in Tokyo some years ago,
has labored unceasingly to increase the spirit of good
feeling between Japan and this country. Recently she
has successfully carried on, almost single-handed, a cam-
paign against an apparent attempt to create ill fecling
between the two countries, which she ascribed to German
propaganda, and which found its expression in a moying
picture play calculated to create race hatred against the
Japanese. Mrs. Burnet writes: “The good friendship and
integrity of the relationship of our two countries, Amer-
ica and Japan, has been proven and realized. Briefly the
story is this. The powerful anti-Japanese element
(which source is German propaganda) of California,
afraid of the good effect of the visit of the Imperial Jap-
anese mission, produced the week following their sojourn
in San Franeisco, where the evidence of improved feelings
threatened to lay the ghost of the Japanese menace, a
most objectionable film play which caused great excite-
ment and roused much ill-feeling—even extending to a riot
in the lobby of the theater on one occasion. My advices to
the State Department, per telegrams, succeeded in tem-
porarily closing down the picture; but two weeks later,
during the state fair at Sacramento, where thousands of
Japanese agriculturists met together with the California
exhibitors, the production of the objectionable film ap-
peared at a local theater. Much ill-feeling was evidenced
and the Japanese were greatly embarrassed and dis-
tressed. I went to Sacramento. The Governor would
talk to me on any subject except the Japanese question.
I had no other subject which I cared to discuss with His
Excellency. I won. In eight hours I succeeded in doing
what various political and peace parties, etc., have en-
deavored to do for several years, and failed. I convineed
the gubernatorial office of the truth. By long distance
‘phone he heard the confession of the involved managers
relative to the contract for the production which I, on
the switch ’phone, was ‘extracting’ by surprise attacks.
The value of the incident is this—that no more such
plays will be attempted. My life was threatened
twice—but I am safe and very well as yet, and all’s well
that ends well.”

Mrs. Burnett first telegraphed to Mr. Breckenridge
Long of the State Department at Washington from San
Francisco on Aug. 24, saying that the good effect of the
Imperial Japanese Mission's visit was being undone and
anti-Japanese feeling seriously aggravated by a film play
called the “Curse of Iku.” She added: “Influential Jap-
anese feel they cannot protest personally in view of re-
cent hospitality shown the commission. Please use every
effort to prevent further exposition of the film in Cali-
fornia. California’s Senate Bill 309, passed April last,
prohibits the display of films calculated to create race
hatred or international misunderstanding. Major Burnett
discussed the subject with Henry Breckenridge, who
thought it right that I communicate directly with you.
Hope you find it possible to prevent undoing of splend‘d
work accomplished here by your efforts.” Mr. Long ~»
plied expressing his thanks and saying that he w “d
take up the matter with the Governor, and later tele-
graphed that after various telegrams the owners of the
films were in Washington and a complete understanding
was hoped for: Several wires to tke Governor had pro-
duced no response.

Mrs. Burnett again telegraphed on Sept. 13 that at the
state fair in Sacramento the objectionable film had been
shown and nothing had been done to suppress it. She
proposed to leave for San Francisco for an interview

with the Governor and hoped that Washington might
bring pressure to bear to help her efforts. The result is
noted above. Governor Stephens of California, on Sept.
15, sent a long distance telephone message, delegating
Mrs. Burnett to inform the Consul General of Japan, and
the Consulate at San Francisco, that in accordance with
the desire of the Japanese people in California and the
request of the State Department at Washington, the
Governor had employed his prerogative to seize and hold
the film of the “Curse of Iku,” and that it wa; then in
his personal possession, where it cculd work no further
harm.

The Japanese papers expressed great gratitude at the
result and appreciation of the action of the executive.
Mrs. Burnett received telegrams from Japanese friends
expressing thanks and congratulations on the results of
her efforts, and the Japanese Association of America
wrote expressing their appreciation and that of the Jap-
anese people. The letter added: “We feel that this pic-
ture has a tendency to undermine the spirit of friendli-
ness existing between the United States and Japan, and
is a thing greatly to be deplored. At this time particu-
ularly, everything should be done to bring these two
countries closer together rather than to create friction
between them.”

COLONEL BOND TO A CARPING CRITIC.

Col. P. S. Bond, C.B., U.S.A., division engineer of the
32d Division at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, has
made vigorous reply to one “Charles C. Brown,” a name
which inquiry revealed to be a pseudonym, who wrote:
“I read with interest your appeal for recruits to the
Engineer Service as posted in post office at Waco, but
before you call for any more men, why don’t you properly
clothe the men you have? I saw some of your men
around town evenings who have no heavy clothes what-
soever and say they cannot get any. The least you offi-
cers can do is see that your men are warmly and
properly clothed and many of us would like to join the
Engineers.”

Colonel Bond wrote in reply: “Your letter concerning
the clothing for the soldiers is a good example of the
ignorant criticism which helps not at all towards the
end we have in view, but merely annoys those who are
trying to do something for the defense of the country.
Our soldiers are insufficiently clothed, Mr. Brown, be-
cause you and a majority of your fellow citizens have
for years evaded your duty to prepare your country for
war while there was yet time. Now you are confronted
with the logical results of your neglect of duty, and in-
stead of turning to and trying to make amends for your
past neglect, you waste your own time and others’ time,
trying to shift the blame for your own shortcomings on
somébody else.

“Officers of the Army have for years and years been
warning the country of just what would happen in case
of war, have been urging their fellow citizens to follow
Washington's advice and prepare for defense while there
was yet time. But their warnings fell on the deaf ears
of the Mr. Browns. The country did nothing to prepare
until war was upon us. I have spent years, myself, Mr.
Brown, preaching preparedness. What have you done
that you criticize me because I cannot wave a magic
wand and cause the factories of the country to produce
clothes for my men?

“But this is no time for criticism and recrimination,
Mr. Brown. I am criticizing you in this public manner
only because I hope it may be good for you and other
citizens who are of like mind to yourself. Don’t in-
dulge in any more useless criticism. Turn to and try
to do your bit, or if you won't do that, try to encourage
and not discourage those who are doing your bit for you.
Save up your money and buy a Liberty Bond.”

LOCAL DEFENSE OF WASHINGTON.

Col. J. A. Dapray (Major, U.S.A.) the Adjutant
General and acting Commanding General of the District
of Columbia Militia, as organizer of the new District
National Guard unit will appear before the December
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in Washington to
explain in detail his plan for the perfection of the new
unit as’ an element of defense for the National Capital.
In a recent letter to the Chamber of Commerce, Colonel
Dapray asked the co-operation of both the Chamber of
Commerce and the Washington Board of Trade in the
organization of the new unit. He said::

“This question of providing a proper local defense in
the city of Washington is, in my opinion, one of pre-
eminent importance at this particular time. Congress
has made generous appropriations, the War Department

has made ample allotments and the statutory laws pro-
vide many advantages and benefits to accrue to the Na-
tional Guard. Bills are now pending in Congress for the
construction of a new National Guard armory for the
District of Columbia, and it has been said that there
is fair prospect that the later bill on this subject, intro-
duced toward the close of the special session, will be
taken up and favorably considered early in the next
regular session.

“But is it reasonable to expect that Congress will pro-
vide an armory, or that Congress will even continue its
annual appropriations, if there is not discoverable some
live local interest in the organization of the new Na-
tional Guard units which the War Department, under
the law, has authorized and approved? I have been
holding meetings and doing all that was possible to
arouse interest, and I believe that, with the active co-
operation of the Washington Chamber of Commerce and
the Washington Board of Trade, I can secure the de-
sired results.

“In all parts of the United States, in nearly all of the
larger cities and in many of the smaller ones, action
looking to the formation of local defense organizations
has long ago been taken. But here in Washington, the
Federal Capital of the Union, where the interests in-
volved are so much more vital than anywhere else in the
United States, practically nothing has been done to se-
cure lawful action, or to secure the passage of laws
that will allow action to be taken. In every state, or
nearly every state, the state legislature concerned has
assed a law providing for home guards, or home defense
leagues of some kind. Congress is the local legislature
for the District of Columbia, and Congress has not yet
passed, nor has it been asked to pass, so far as I know,
any legislation on this subject. Meanwhile, however,
the only law that permits the formation of military or-
ganizations is the National Guard law which Congress
bas passed and under which the War Department would

authorize and approve of additional National Guard
units.”

OUR CADRE TROOPS.
Camp Pike, Ark.
To THE Eprror of THE ARMY AND NAVY JOURNAL:

About two months ago a notice was posted on our
company bulletin board with an announcement as to
cadre troops. It was just after the hours of drill, and, as
usual, the men crowded around to read that last notice.
In the struggling mass someone yelled, “At last there’s
something doing.” The hearts of many of us quickened
and our thoughts turned back to the oft-imagined picture
of the fighting ——— regiment embarking once again for
battle; not to the border, but in the direction of the
rising sun. But many were disappointed, the talk that
night around quarters showed it. It could plainly be
seen that that regiment of Regulars, Uncle Sam’s sea-
soned soldiers recently from their campaign with “Persh-
ing” wanted active service again, and that right away
under old “Black Jack.” Again and again we re-read
that bulletin. Of course it meant service, and active ser-
vice, but comparing it with duty in the trenches, it would
indeed be tame duty; but vital and useful duty for the
country we knew.

Cadre, cadre troops, what kind of troops does that
mean? many of us asked. It was a new word, strange
in our vocabulary. But we soon found out. It meant
trainers of green troops, drill masters; in other words,
skilled soldiers, with character, who could be depended
upon to set an example before the drafted men. Cadre
troops, the skeleton of National Army regiments. Each
company in our regiment was to furnish ten to twelve
or more men, recommended by our company commanders
to be sergeants in the National Army.

Many of our recruits volunteered at once. Here was
a chance of being made a sergeant, non-commissioned
officer. 3ut luckily they were turned down by their
company commanders from lack of military experience;
good men all, but practically on a par with the drafted
men when it ¢ame to knowing a soldier’s life. We older
men in the Service, men with from two to twenty years
in the Service, thought it over and looked before we
leaped. We were reluctant to leave the old Regular
establishment anyway. While promotion was slow we
nevertheless fejt at home and were satisfied. We knew
our officers had seen service with them and felt confi-
dence in them. So volunteers came slowly.

Those who did submit their names did so for two rea-
sons. One was because they thought they could be of
greater use to the Government as cadre men and they
felt it a duty; the other was for ambitious reasons. Here
in the great new National Army there would be great
opportunities for a man who was a real soldier and
knew his business. But these volunteers did not begin
to fill the columns of men asked for by the War Depart-
ment. So men were detailed by their company com-
manders. Old, trusted sergeants with campaign badges,
who loved the old Regular establishment, who would
almost rather have their right hand cut off than to leave
the Regulars. But they went, and without a murmur,
for it was orders and they knew a soldier’s duty. There
were also corporals and privates, first-class, sent. They
all went without a complaint; they were soldiers and
doing their duty.

We knew there would be hardships at these National
Army camps. Many said they would much rather go to
the trenches with a Regular outfit than go te a Na-
tional Army camp, and the reason is obvious, for it is
no easy matter to drill recruits from morning till night;
to live in the same squad room with a hundred raw re-
eruits and know that every move you make as a non-
commissioned officer is noticed by these men, and that
you are an example of a real soldier and that they must
learn to have your bearing and method to become soldiers.
It is no easy matter to live with a hundred raw recruits,
bunkie with them, rub shoulders with them, and then, at
the same time, maintain dignity rnd respect. It’s a good
subject to study out for a student in psychology. But
we men, we cadre troops, knew there would be hardships
for us at the cantonments, and the matter of separate
rooms for sergeants is minor.

The thing is the training of the National Army, the
handling yourself as a soldier, setting an example daily
in everything you do, both on the parade ground and in
the squadron room. And the cadre men are making
good. You see them daily at our cantonments, mingling
with our Reserve officers, drilling a squad there, putting
a whole company through the morning setting up exer-
cises, always on the job teaching the drafted men the
little tricks of the trade in soldiering; and even many
times a Reserve officer is thankful for a little informa-
tion on the Q.T. from some old sergeant who knows.
Yes, verily, the cadre troops are playing a mighty help
in molding our National Army.

VALUE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING.

To THE EpiToR OF THE ARMY AND NAvy JOURNAL:

In Upton’s “Military Policy of the United States” the
author refers to the failure of the War Department, in
1861, to appreciate the value of professional training
(p. 236 et seq.). Of the 313 graduates of the Military
Academy who were out of service in 1861 one remained
in foreign service, ninety-eight remained in civil life,
ninety-two joined the Confederacy, 102 re-entered the
Army. Of these 102 there were eighty-two who attained
the grade of colonel and above.

“With such brilliant results for the 102 officers who
came back to the Service, the policy which kept 308
graduates (of whom 151 were captains) ig the lower
grades of the Army should be ranked as one of the great-
est blunders of the war.

“This fatal policy did not apply exclusively to gradu-
ates, but included many able and accomplished officers
appointed from civil life and the Army, whose long and
faithful service specially qualified them for the com-
mand of new troops. ‘

“The statistics above quoted show another’ defect in
our system which allowed ninety-eight officers educated
at public expense to remain in civil pursuits at a time
when the life of the Republic was in danger.”

No one will deny that the War Department of 1917
has done much better in this respect than the War De-
partment of 1861. Nevertheless, the same blunder dwelt
upon by General Upton is being repeated in a less de-
gree. Numerous able and accomplished officers are being
kept in subordinate positions while National Guard
and Reserve officers are advanced to high command.
What ¢ffort has the Department made to ascertain the

whereabouts and utilize the services of former ita
officers now in civil life? A considerable nu
retired officers are shelved at colleges and in ot
ondary capacities, and scores of active offic

tracked in secondary capacities, all of wh ild
of much greater use in this grim struggle 1
ers of regiments and brigades. Iirry,

WATER POWER A WAR ASSE!
To THE Epiror or THE ARMY AND Navy JOURNAL:
The great war in which our nation is engaged will
be won not alone by food and men, but by mechani

power as well. Without mechanical power we could
not make or move the weapons with which we fight
guns, ammunition, ships and supplies. Our national
resources of power, whether from coal, oil or water
power, are national war necessities. We need them to
win the war.

In this gigantic struggle our security requires us to

use all these great resources, and to use them wisely
and well. The people of the United States own some
fifty million undeveloped water horsepower, or about
enough to run every train, trolley, factory, mill, mine
and electric power plant we have. For ten years the
friends of Conservation have urged the development of
public water powers in the public interest. But devel-
opment has been held back by a little group of water
power magnates and their friends in Congress, who have
blocked all legislation which would not give: them these
valuable properties forever and for nothing.

To-day, when the nation needs all its resources, the

same men who have been blocking reasonable water

power legislation own and are holding millions of water
horsepower undeveloped and out of use while clamoring
for more. The time has come when such obstruction
threatens the nation’s safety and success. We need the
development of these powers in war even more than in
peace. At the coming session of Congress sound water
power legislation should be enacted as a war meas-
ure, based upon principles fair to all sides. I am writ-
ing to ask your support for immediate legislation, based
upon them, when Congress meets.

This is no time to give away public assets necessary
for the welfare of our people both in the war and after
the war, and we would no longer tolerate the selfishness
of private interests which take the dog-in-the-manger
position that they must have these water powers on their
own terms, or no one shall use them at all.

CHRISTMAS PLEA FOR PRISON LEAGUE.
Volunteer Prison League,
Volunteers of America, New York, N.Y.
To THE EpIToR OF THE ARMY AND NAvy JOURNAL:

May I again this year bring to the hearts of your
readers the plea for help and sympathy from the prison-
shadowed homes where we shall try to bring a little joy
and comfort this Christmas season? My work in the
big state prisons all over this country has brought me in
touch not only with tens of thousands of men incarcer-
ated there, but also with their families to whom they
send me in the hours of sickness, poverty or despair that
fall so cruelly to their lot. The men in prison have at
least clothing, food and shelter while they serve their
term, but the wife and little ones at home have often
to face cold and hunger and are the innocent victims of
an undeserved fate.

For years we have tried to gladden their Christmas,
Our method is to pack big Christmas boxes of groceries,
new clothing and toys. As each family’s need is investi-
gated we are able to provide just what they need most,
Will some of the readers of this message help me to
resurrect Santa Claus for the hundreds of little ones we
long to help? I know this year the work will be harder
than ever because so much financial help is going to
answer the great need in war-stricken countries overseas,
We cannot be selfish or regret for a moment the gen-
erous help to other lands, but oh, can we not also re-
member practically these helpless ones at home?

so that the business methods of our organization may
be thoroughly understood let me add that the Volunteers
of America is an incorporated society, that our books are
carefully audited and that our treasurer will send a re-
ceipt for every dollar received and will hold vouchers for
every dollar expended. Gifts of clothing, toys or money
will be most acceptable. They should be directed to Mrs.
Ballington Booth, Volunteer Prison League, 34 West
Twenty-eighth street, New York city. We shall indeed
be grateful if the readers of this message can help us.

EXACT TIME; MILITARY SALUTES.
To THE Epitor oF THE ARMY AND NAvy JOURNAL:

A railroad brakeman must have a 17 to 19-jewel
watch. Our officers are quite generally carrying cheap
watches that frequently gain or lose thirty-seconds in
an hour. Anything less than a 17-jewel watch is worth-
less for use in connection with barrage fire and should
not be permitted to be carried by our officers.

As to military salutes; the armies of the world require
the military salute because obedience, instant and loyal,
is absolutely essential to the teamwork which wins
battles. We must recognize our superior’s command and
obey it quickly, when we have almost lost the power to
think, in the inferno of battle. It must become a habit
which remains a part of us. To form this habit thou-
sands of repetitions of the act are necessary. This is com-
mon psychology.

When an enlisted man, a lieutenant, a captain, a colo-
nel, a general salutes his superior, he says by that act:
“T will obey you”; and the smartness with which the
salute is made is an exact measure of the way he will
obey. When he returns the salute of an inferior in rank,
he says: “I will strive to the limit to prepare myself to
lead you to victory.” He will fight as he salutes. This
act, repeated scores of times daily, forms a habit which
neither fear, nor sickness, nor physical weakness can
break.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR IN EUROPE.
(Summarized from reports Nov. 16-22.)
BRITISH BREAK GERMAN LINE BEFORE CAMBRA4.
The British forces in a surprise attack on Nov. 2
broke through the defensive works of the enemy on a
wide front before the city of Cambrai, taking a large
number of prisoners and guns and imperiling not only
the German hold on Cambrai itself, but the whole exist-
ing German line between Douai and Laon. The success
was the most extensive gained at a single stroke by any
of the contending parties in France since last spring,
when the Germans were forced to retire from the Somme.
Coming at the moment of the apparent culmination of
the Teuton drive in Italy, it promised to offset the ene-
my’s gains largely in that quarter, and to relieve the
pressure on the Italian front by forcing the Germans
to give their attention to dealing with a new menace to
their western front, much more pressing for the moment
than that at Ypres. The new offensive is therefore of
the highest importance in relation to the general situa-
tion on the active fronts, and offers a possibility of fur-
ther interesting developments in the immediate future.

The operation itself was in the nature of a surprise
attack, carried out on a scale hitherto unprecedented, and
with a success that: has entirely failed to mark the lesser
surprise attacks delivered by either side on the fortified
fronts in the past three years of warfare. No protracted
cannonading gave warning of what impended. A great
number of tanks led the attack. The statements of the
preceding days indicate more than usual activity on
the part of the British reconnoitering parties, but these
operated chiefly to the north of the River Scarpe, leay-
ing the area south of that stream as far as the British
extreme right at St. Quentin in apparent security. On
the 19th, Haig recommenced the violent bombardment
of the German front in the Ypres area, furnishing the
enemy with apparent indications of an intended enter-
prise in that direction. In the meantime, a large force of
tanks, probably greater than any hitherto employed to-
gether, was gathered on the British front, opposite the
chief points aimed at. Without the least warning these
engines moved forward across the vacant zone at 6:20 in
the morning. They reached the German trenches and
blockhouses so promptly as to sustain little damage from

the enemy’s covering artillery, which had no time to locate
the targets. Trenches were crossed in the stride of the
machines, earthworks levelled, cement machine-gun

shelters destroyed and the mouths of underground refuges
run over. British accounts, unofficial, indicate that many
of the German front line troops, in the face of these un-
expected tactics, were at a loss and gave up the fight
readily.

Infantry followed the tanks, assisting in the reduction
works, taking charge of prisoners and occupied points.
By this means they enabled the tanks to move on with
a minimum of delay. In the main field of attack the
Brifish were bent on penetrating the enemy’s front as
suddenly and deeply as possible. The tank assault
therefore did not halt to finish up the details of its work,
and the infantry, above all the grenadiers and other
shock troops, played an important, though contributory,
part. After passing the front line, the machines kept on,
dominating the machine gun zone and seeking the second
line of works. These in turn they traversed. By after-
noon they had advanced, at the point of greatest gain,
something like five miles beyond the morning’s point of
departure. The depth of the gain was, in part, due to
the disorganization of the enemy’s defensive artillery
fire, the guns’ positions being menaced and in some cases
attained and surpassed. No longer were the German
gunners dealing with a limited field where they could
carry out a methodical fire <t ranges previously ascer-
tained. The downfall of the enemy artillery was in its
way as conspicuous a fact of the day as the performance
of the assault cars.

While the whole front of the attack extended over
thirty miles, from the Scarpe to the vicinity of St. Quen-
tin, only secondary assaults were delivered at the right
and left thirds of this line. The main. attack of Nov. 20
took place in the center, between these two extremities
on a front of some ten miles lying south of the Bapaume-
Cambrai road and north of Villers-Guislain village. The
road from Havrincourt to Cambrai formed the center of
tl ne of advance. Capturing Havrincourt at the out-
set, the main attack on its left passed through the suc-
cessive villages of Flesquiéres, Graincourt and Anneux;

of

the right occupied first Ribécourt and subsequently the
larger town of Marcoing, an important point and rail-
road junction, five miles southwest of Cambrai. To the
8 of Marcoing, the British gained possession of the
gr d as far east as the St. Quentin-Cambrai Canal and
fil norted to have effected a crossing of the canal near
Masniéres. They thus approached within about five
D of Cambrai on a ten-mile front, in the first six or
Se) hours of the operation. The villages were in sey-
eral cases stormed by infantry.

( the 21st the attack gained again, although at a re-
duced rate. The second day’s advance carried the Brit-
ish to Noyelles, a mile beyond Marcoing, and about

thi miles from Cambrai. They took Cantaing, like-
wise, farther on the left, while on the right they stormed
two rows of trenches on the east bank of the Scheldt
Canal. On the 22d, after clearing the Bourlon wood,
north of the Bapaume-Cambrai main road, they pressed
eastward along the road and. seized Fontaine-Ndétre-Dame,
less than three miles west of Cambrai. They had traveled
two-thirds of the distance to their objective in three
da overcoming their opponents in two fortified lines.

Inc plete
Ge I ins.
Only the most complete and secret preparation made
the British success possible. ‘The British third army,
commanded by General Byng, to whom belongs the chief
credit for organizing the operation, did perhaps the most
dificult part of its work before the hour of the actual
advance. Large bodies of troops were moved up without
Prematurely betraying their presence to the opposing side,
and the tanks likewise were brought into their starting
Positions, despite their cumbrous progress, without alarm-
ing the enemy. The final preparations had to be carried
out during the few dark hours preceding the assault. In
the quiet attending the absence of heavy cannonading the
difficulty of this feat much exceeded that under the
ordinary conditions of attack. The fact that the Ger-
Mans had suffered little molestation in this area of late
and regarded the strength of their defenses with confi-
dence worked in favor of the British. As a military feat
€ success is as remarkable as in its aspect of a strategic
fain. Its unique success among the surprise attacks in
the warfare of the western front makes it the more con-
Spicuous, and gives occasion for the hope that the be-
Sinnings weal finding a new tactical method, permitting

accounts mentioned the capture

of 8,000

of crushing frontal attack in the face of the strongest
enemy field defenses, may at last have been made.

The considerable and at first examination apparently
predominating power of the tanks as employed in this
week’s operation call renewed attention to these’ con-
trivances. As used in the early months of the present
year and in 1916, these armored tractor engines failed to
inspire hope of their attaining the value they have just
displayed. Tanks were disabled by German artillery on
several previous occasions, or became stalled in the Ger-
man lines and fell prey to bombing parties. Their use
hitherto, however, has been only singly or in small groups.
As they appeared first on the British front hardly over a
year ago, their development may be said to have been in
its first infancy until very lately. The present demon-
stration of their power suggests the. possibility that they
may shortly appear on the western front in increased
numbers and play a new part in the offensives that are
to come.

The French front continued quiet during the week, in
most parts as of late. North of Verdun there were
again bombardments and local German attacks on both
sides of the River Meuse. The Germans attempted at-
tacks, which failed, at Mont Cornillet in Champagne, and
at Veldhoek in Flanders. If the French were preparing
any move of their own in co-operation with their Brit-
ish allies, little oceurred to indicate where it was to
take place. On Novy. 20, the French, in connection with
the British operations, made a small attack near St.
Quentin. East of Craonne, the French made a local at-
tack on Noy. 21 and penetrated the opposing lines to an
average depth of 400 yards on a front of five-eighths of
a mile, taking 175 prisoners.

The problem of sheltering the tanks, in their first ad-
vance, from the opposing guns, was met by the use of a
smoke barrage, it is reported, on some por‘ions of the
attacking front.

GERMAN EFFORTS AGAINST PIAVE LINE.

The Italians under General Diaz have withstood for
another week the endeavor of General von Below to force
his way through from the north and turn the left fiank
of their line on the Piave river. At the same time the
Teuton efforts to drive the Italians from the bank of the
river near its mouth have met with a check. This check
and the failure of the offensive to maintain its previous
rate of progress in the north, despite heavy attacks’ in
that region, have materially improved the defense’s pros-
pects of making a successful stand in defense of Venice.

Rome considers that the Teutons in the region of
Feltre on the middle Piaye and Asiago on the Trentino
border, to the west have been heavily reinforced with
select fresh troops. These troops have been employed in
violent and repeated attacks designed to break down op-
position and force the Italian flank backward in a south-
erly direction, but althouglSo0me gains have resulted, the
Italians retain an excellent defensive front in the men-
aced area, and the Teuton results up to the present have
not been such as warrant their sacrifices. On Dec. 16
the Teutons reported the capture of Cismon at the forks
of the Cismon and upper Brenta rivers, a point half
way between Asiago and Feltre. Its possessions gave
them a continuous front in the northern region and put in
effectual contact the force coming south from the Trentino
passes and that advancing westward through Feltre from
the upper course of the Piave river. There followed an
effort to extend the gains southwest of Cismon by attacks
against the fortified heights of Badenecche and Torande-
car. In this part of the field the Teutons found them-
selves checked by the impracticable nature of the ground,
abounding in difficult heights and offering poor facilities
for troop movements. Further west, they had better suc-
cess, moving down the Piave river from Feltre on the
18th and taking the town of Quero, five miles to the
south. Beyond Quero they met with strong resistance at
the group of heights known as Mounts Tomba, Fenere
and Grappa.” They were repulsed in repeated assaults
against the Fenera height on Nov. 19, and lost heavily in
men, according to Italian reports. ‘The assaults were
not renewed on the 20th, but Teuton artillery was
brought into action, indicating intentions to prepare the
way for further assaults.

Teutons in small force made farther crossings of the
lower Piave at Fajare and one or two other points, on
Nov. 17 and 18. These crossings they were however una-
ble to develop. The Teuton party previously lodged on
the right bank of the Piave in the loop near Zenson were
driven back with many killed and made prisoners.

On Nov. 22 it was reported from Rome that the line
on the upper Brenta and Piave rivers had held fast
against renewed assaults. The Berlin reports failed to
assert the capture of any of the chief peaks in the re-
gion. The Italians met an assault on the 21st against
their line from Casera and Meletta to Davanti, on the
Asliago plateau. The whole slackening of the northern op-
eration, after its first startling successes, suggested that
the Teutons in the neighborhood had found trouble in col-
lecting enough force to keep up the progression toward
the lowlands. Throughout the week no news came of
the engagement of the supports sent into Italy by France
and Britain; nor did the moment for their engagement
seem to have arrived.

BRITISH OPERATIONS AGAINST JERUSALEM.

The Turks, unable to q°cover’ after their recent defeat
at Gaza, have been forc® *k upon Jerus ; Without
offering any adequate defense against the itish force
of General Allenby. While the British right advanced
northward from Beersheba, the left moved northward up
the Mediterranean coast upon Jaffa. After a series of
rearguard engagements with Turkish units defending the
wide gullies on the route, Australian and New Zealand
mounted troops entered Jaffa on the 17th. The city is
the port of Jerusalem and its possession gave the Allenby
expedition a useful coast base for use in further opera-
tions against or beyond the Holy City. The coast wing
of the British force, moving northward, reached Kuryet-
el-Nat; six miels west of Jerusalem, on Noy. 20, and
Beit Likia, five miles northwest of the city, was later
stormed by Scottish troops. This advance put the British
well to the north of the Jerusalem-Jaffa railroad ‘on a
front of several miles, and threatened to cut off the Turk-
ish retreat northward up the rail line via Nablus upon
Damascus.

In Mesopotamia the British have suffered a loss in the
death of General Maude, the captor of Bagdad. His suc-
cesses in this region were rendered conspicuous by con-
trast with the failures of his predecessors. At the mo-
ment the Bagdad force is not immediately threatened by
the enemy, thanks to General Maude’s recent successes in
breaking up his opponent’s bases and positions on the
Tigris, Euphrates and Diala rivers.

The Surgeon General of the Army, acting upon in-
struction from the Secretary of War, has organized a
special medical un‘t for service in the hospitals of Ru-
mania, 100 Army surgeons having been detailed for duty
with this unit. Col. Walter D. McCaw, M.C., U.S.A.,
will be in command of the surgeons and the few Army

nurses who also will be detailed. Colonel McCaw will
report to the American minister at Jassy, Rumania.

THE CAVALRY GETS ITS CHANCE.

The British cavalry had an important part in General
Byng’s great victory over the Germans on the French
front this week. Its work in charging German infantry
and sabering gunners is described by correspondents as
brilliant and gallant, and certainly stirs the heart of
every Cavalryman. Those who held that cavalry would
be of little or no value on the western front will now
have to revise their opinions and admit that the judgment
of Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief of the British
armies in France, in maintaining a large cavalry forcee—
ready to strike at the opportune moment—was beyond
question.

Philip Gibbs in a special cable to the New York Times
from the hattle front, Nov. 21, in describing the part of
the British cavalry in the great battle, says: “The cay-
alry were in the highest spirits and full of tense expecta-
tion. Young cavalry officers galloped past smiling, and
called out a cheery ‘Good morning,’ like men who have
good sport ahead. In the folds of land toward the Ger-
man lines there were thousands of cavalry horses, massed
in parks, with their horse artillery limbered up, and
ready for their ride.

“This morning (Noy. 21) very early, in the steady
rain and wet mist, I saw squadrons of them going into
action, and it was the most stirring sight I had seen for
many a long day in this war, one which I sometimes
thought I should never live to see.

“Rain slashed down upon their steel hats, their capes
were glistening, and mud was bung up to the horse’s
flanks, as in long columns they went up and down the
rolling country and cantered up the steep track, making
a wide curve around two great mine craters in roads
which the enemy had blown tp in his retreat. It was a
wonderful picture to see and remember.

“Other squadrons of cavalry had already gone ahead
and had been fighting in the open country since midday
yesterday after crossing the bridges of Masniéres and
Marcoing, which the enemy did not have time to destroy.
They had done well. One squadron rode down a battery
of German guns, and a patrol had ridden into Flesquiéres
village, when the Germans were still there. Still other
bodies of cavalry had swept around German machine-gun
entplacements and German villages and drawn many pris-
oners into their net. The drama was far beyond the
most fantastic imagination.”

NOTES OF THE WAR.

sritish casualties reported in the week ending Nov.
20 reached 32,227, divided as follows: Killed or died of
wounds—Officers, 296; men, 6,160. Wounded or miss-
ing—Officers, 923; men, 24,848. ;

Seventeen British merchantmen were sunk by mines or
submarines according to the weekly statement issued by
the Admiralty on Nov. 21. Of these ten were vessels of
1,600 tons or more and seven of less. Rome reports that
the Italian marine losses during the week ended Noy. 18
were one large steamer sunk and another damaged by a
torpedo and afterward towed into port. One French
ship of more than 1,600 tons and two fishing vessels were
sunk by subiaarines or mines last week according to the
statement of Nov. 22. One ship was attacked unsuc-
cessfully.

In the House of Commons on Nov. 15 Henry William
Forster, Financial Secretary of War, said that since
July 1, 1916, the British had captured from the Turks
80,197 prisoners and 186 guns, and from the Germans
on the- Western front 101,534 prisoners and 519 guns.
The approximate square mileage in territory conquered
or reconquered by the British in the same time, said
Mr. Forster, was 128,000. The total number of prison-
ers captured on all fronts since the beginning of the war
was 166,000, while the eaptured guns numbered 800,

A little brush between British and German light forces
in the Heligoland Bight on Nov. 17 resulted, according
to the British report, in the Germans running away to
their mine fields, after a pursuit of thirty miles. One
German light cruiser was battered and in flames, the
machinery of another seemed to be damaged and one
German mine sweeper was sunk. The British light
forces returned without losses, with little material dam-
age to the vessels and slight casualties among the per-
sonnel. The Germans claim to have repulsed the British
in an attempt to break into Heligoland Bight, and that
they suffered no losess.

A Madrid dispatch to London on Nov. 20 says the
Spanish government has issued a special warning that
Spain would regard any flight of American airplanes over
her territories as in violation of neutrality and would
instruct the military to fire on such airplanes.

The German government announced on Noy. 22 the
establishment of a new “barred zone” around the Azore
Islands “which have become in economic and military
respects important hostile bases of Atlantic navigation.”
The channel to Greece hitherto left open in the Med-
iterranean is also “closed” by this order on the ground
that the Venizelos government has been using it not so
much for transporting food to the Greeks as for arms
and munitions. A German vice admiral declared on
Noy. 21 that the United Stdtes had “established herself
on the Azores and constructed fortifications at Punta
Delgado.”

Major Gen. William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance, U.
S.A., has issued a description of the U.S. Rifle, Model
of 1917, which is the British rifle of 1914 rechambered
for American cartridges. 'The diameter. of the bore is
0.0. It has five grooves with a uniform twist left hand,
one turn in ten. The bayonet weighs 1 Ib. 2 oz., and
the total weight of the arm with oiler, throng-case and
bayonet is 10 Jb. 5 oz. The trigger pull is from 4% to
614 lbs. The initial velocity of the rifle is 2,700 feet per
second. The weight of the bullet is 150 grains and the
weight of the powder charge is 50 grains. The face
of the rear sight, both slide and battle sight peep, is
checkered to prevent the reflection of light, and renders
unnecessary the blacking of the sight. The slide moves
vertically and makes no correction for drift. The firin;
pin and sleeve can be removed from the bolt, dismounted,
without using any tools. ‘The rifle may be used as a
single loader or in simulated fire. The magazine is di-
rectly beneath the bolt and is loaded from the top from
a clip. Clips hold five cartridges, which is the capacity
of the magazine, but a sixth cartridge may be carried
in the mber.

RECENT DEATHS.

Major Raymond R. Stevens, U.S.A., retired, died at
Brownsville, Ga., Nov. 17, 1917. He was born in Penn-

of duty. Major Stevens served with the 23d in the Phil-
ippine campaign.

Major Richard Weil, M.O.R.C., chief of the medical
staff of the base hospital at Camp Wheeler, near Macon,
Ga., died from pneumonia Nov. 19, 1917. Before the war
he was professor of experimental medicine in Cornell
Medical College and a practicing physician in New York
city. Mrs. Weil was with her husband when he died.
The body was sent to New York for burial. Dr. Weil
was a member of the County Medical Society, the Acad-
emy of Medicine, the New York Medical Society, the
American Medical Association, the New York Pathologi-
cal Society, the Association of American Physicians,‘ the
American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists,
and the American Association for Cancer Research. His
home was at 1000 Park avenue, New York city. Be-
sides his wife, Dr. Weil is survived by two sons and a
daughter. a

Asst. Surg. Dudley W. Queen, U.S. Navy, who died
in Ireland Noy. 20, 1917, was on duty with the Ameri-
can Navy forces. He was born in Granger, Texas, in
1886, and was appointed an assistant surgeon in the
U.S. Naval Reserve Force on May 3, 1917. He was ap-
pointed assistant surgeon in June, 1917, and was serving
on board the Cassin at the time of his death.

A correspondent writing to us regarding the death of
Mrs. McCrea, wife of Brig. Gen. Tully McCrea, on Oct.
25 last, in Hampton, Va., which we have previously noted
says: “Mrs. McCrea died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Tschappat, wife of Colonel Tschappat, Ord. Dept.
Mrs. McCrea (descended from an old New York family,
her grandfather, Col. Elisha Camp), was born in Sackets
Harbor, -N.Y. Marrying the then Lieutenant McCrea
she spent her life in the U.S. Army as a bright example
of what the typical Army woman should be. Trained
by the discipline, re-enforced by her common sense, of
varied experiences in military life, to be all things to
all men; at home, on land or sea; adequate to every
phase of society ; she possessed the happy faculty of mak-
ing and keeping friends. Her keen intellect and brilliant
conversation made her a delightful companion, while in
character she was sweet, strong, loving and buoyant.
Ever unselfish her influence will remain in many lives
enriched by this courageous, hopeful spirit. It is fitting
that she lies in beautiful West Point since the beauty
of her own character has been such, that the loss to her
family and many friends is incalculable.”

Mrs. Elizabeth Lister, widow of Brig. Gen. F. W.
Lister, U.S.V., died Nov. 18, 1917, after a two days’
illness of pneumonia, at her home, 10 Shepard street,
Cambridge, Mass. She was eighty-eight years of age.
She was born in London and was married there. She
came to America in the early fifties. Her husband served
in the’ British army and in the Civil War in the 45th and
31st Ohio Volunteers, and as colonel of the 40th U.S.
Colored Infantry. Mrs. Lister is survived by three sons,

Mrs. Mary E. Ryan, widow of Comdr. George P. Ryan,
U.S.N., died Nov. 19, 1917, at her home, Auburn Courts,
Brookline, Mass. She was the daughter of the late John
Galvin, for many years city forester of Boston. For sev-
eral years after her marriage she lived in Washington
and Annapolis, but following the death of her husband,
who lost his life in the wreck of the U.S.S. Huron, Nov.
24, 1877, she made her home in Boston. She is sur-
vived by two daughters, Miss Coletta A. Ryan, of Brook-
line, and Mrs. Helen T. Gardiner, of Washington, wife
of Comdr. Carlos A. Gardiner, U.S.N.; a sister, Mrs.
Charles Drake, of Washington; and three brothers, J.
Mitchel Galvin, Thomas F. Galvin and Dr. George W.
Galvin.

Gen. Sir Frederick Stanley Maude, a distinguished offi-
cer of the British army and a commander of the expedi-
tionary forces in Mesopotamia, where his brilliant cam-
paign amid great obstacles have won the admiration of
students of military history, died in Mesopotamia Nov.
18 after a brief illness. General Maude was fifty-three
years old. He was a son of the late Gen. Sir Frederick
Maude, and served in the South African War and on
various British fronts in the world war, and was wounded
in France. On Aug. 28, 1916, he was placed in command
of the Mesopotamian army after its former commander
was defeated. He won an unbroken series of successes.
He captured Kut-el-Amara, where General Townshend's
army had been compelled to surrender, and last March
took Bagdad, later pushing up the Tigris more than 100
miles beyond the latter city. He was mentioned five
times in the dispatches and made a Commander of the
Bath. From 1901 to 1904 he was military secretary to
the Governor General of Canada and later private sec-
retary to the Secretary of State for War.

Col. A. Audout, head of the Swiss army, died Nov. 21,
1917, as a result of a brief illness contracted during an
inspection trip. While observing neutrality officially,
Colonel Audout made no disguise of his sympathies with
the Entente Allies. His death in Switzerland is deeply
mourned.

Mr. Richard H. Gordon died in New York city Nov. 20,
1917. Mr. Gordon was the father of Mrs. Eleanora G.
Stevenson and of Mrs. Albert Clayton Dalton, wife of
Colonel Dalton, Q.M. Corps, U.S.A.

Mrs. Agnes Louisa Leslie Peck, wife of Gen. Theodore
S$. Peck, U.S.V., died at her home Nov. 15, 1917. Gen-
eral Peck has many friends and acquaintances in the
Army and Navy who will deeply sympathize with him in
his great loss. Besides her husband Mrs. Peck is sur-

vived by her daughter, Theodora Agnes Peck. Mrs, Peck,
who had been partially paralyzed since she was stricken
ith apoplexy Jan. 1, 1917, has been a patient sufferer,
Shin king not of herself, but of those about her. She was
rm in Toronto, Ontario, the daughter of William and
uisa M. (Webb) Leslie, her father coming from the

home of his ancestors in Dundee, Scotland, to Upper
York (Toronto) Canada. Her mother’s home was
in Champlain, N.Y., and on her maternal side the
Webb line of ancestors is traced back to the year 1350,
including many English ople of note. She was a
charter member of Green Hennteln Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution, and the first state regent of
Vermont; a member of the Woman’s Relief Corps of
Stannard Post, G.A.R.; of the Humane Society of Bur-
lington, and for many years was president of the board
of managers of the Home for Friendless Women. She
was a devoted member of the College Street Congrega-
tional Church. “To whatever interests she became asso-
ciated Mrs. Peck gave a faithful and untiring attention,
her life being an example of the high ideals which in-
spired her, and her memory will ever be cherished by a
wide circle of friends,” says the Burlington Free Press.
The funeral services were held Nov. 17 from the Peck
residence, the Rev. I. C. Smart officiating. Representa-
tives from many organizations were among the large
number of persons attending the services and there were
numerous floral tributes. Upon the casket were small
United States and English silk flags. Mrs. Peck was
buried in the family lot in Lake View Cemetery. ‘The hon-
orary bearers included Prof. George H. Perkins, acting
president of the University of Vermont; Prof. Samuel F.
Emerson, of the University of Vermont; Gen. Stephen
P. Jocelyn, U.S.A.; Gen. Crosby P. Miller, U.S.A.
Letters and telegrams were received from all parts of the
country. General Peck and his daughter are deeply
touched by the kindness shown them by their many
friends, and words fail to express their gratitude.

Judge James H. Wood, a distinguished Virginia law-
yer, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James N,
Dillard, in New York city, Nov. 12, 1917, at the age of
seventy-seven years. Judge Wood served at one time in
the Virginia House of Delegates. He served as captain
and adjutant of the 37th Virginia Regiment of Confed-
erates dvvtng the war between the States and was active
in the V‘inia campaign under Stonewall Jackson. He
was captured at the battle of the Wilderness and was
sent to Old Fort Delaware, where he remained in prison
until the close of the war. He was at one time offered
the nomination of the Governorship of Virginia, but de-
clined it in order that he might continue the practice
of his chosen profession which he did in Virginia and
later in Washington, and finally in New York city. His
surviving children are his son, Lieut. Col. William 8.
Wood, of the U.S. Field: Artillery, and two daughters,
Mrs. Dillard, of New York, and Mrs. 8. G. Harriss, of
Lynchburg, Va. His grandson, Capt. A. W. Dillard, 18th
Inf., is now in the Aviation Corps in France,

Annie Collidge Saffarrans, widow of George Landrum
Saffarrans, died at her home in Memphis, Tenn., on
Nov. 9, 1917, of apoplexy. “She was the mother of Col.
George C. Saffarrans, U.S.A., and Mrs. W. J. O’Lough-
lin. She had visited many Army posts, at which her
son or daughter were stationed, and had a wide ac-
quaintance among Army people.

An impressive military funeral was held at Camp Mills,
Garden City, N.Y., over the remains of 2d Lieut. William
M. Bradshaw, of Troop A, 148th Field Art., National
Guard, whose home is in Portland, Ore. Lieutenant
Bradshaw died Nov. 15, 1917, in the Rockefeller Insti-
tute of pneumonia. He was a veteran of three wars, in-
cluding the Boer War, in the British service. The en-
tire regiment and military band attended his funeral
from Christ’s Presbyterian Churck, Hempstead, N.Y.,
and the body was sent to Portland.

A tragic accident occurred on Nov. 17, near Cham-
paign, Ill., in which Mrs. C. C. Benedict and son, Freder-
ick, and Mrs. Conrad Berens. were instantly killed, and
Major C. C. Benedict, J.M.A., A.S., 8.C., and Capt. Con-
rad Berens, M.O.R.C., were injured when the closed car in
which they were driving was struck by an inter-urban.
The party had been at the Champaign Country Club play-
ing golf and were returning to Chanute Field when the
accident occurred. Captain Berens and Major Benedict
were in the front seat, the ladies and the little boy in
the rear. The electric car struck the automobile just
behind the front seat, totally demolishing it. The bodies
were thrown about fifty feet. The remains of Mrs. Bene-
dict and Frederick were shipped to Vancouver, Wash.
The bodies were escorted to the train by the officers and
ladies from Chanute Field, and a great number of friends
from Champaign. Mrs. Benedict had made a great many
friends since she came to Chanute Field in the early
part of June and her sudden and tragic death was a
shock to the entire community. Mrs. Berens had only
been at the post for a short time, but had endeared her-
self to everyone by her charming personality. The funeral
services were held in New Jersey.

The following deaths of officers were reported to the
War Department since Nov. 10: Second Lieut. Tilman
B. Gray, 346th Inf., at Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., Nov.
12, 1917; 1st Lieut. Ernest Gentis, 35th Engrs., at Camp

listed as a private.”

Where there are so many new officers in the Service, as
nowadays, the question must naturally arise as to the
relations existing between senior and junior officers in
the line of duty, Discussing this point the correspond-
ent of the Chicago Daily News at Camp Grant, IIL,
writes in a recent issue of that paper: “Junior officers
of the 86th National Army Division in training here
could well observe Col. Charles R. Howland, commander
of the 343d Infantry, while they are learning military
psychology along with tactics, modern war science and
so on. One short look at Colonel Howland and anybody
would say ‘he is a soldier.’ He has a short, snappy way
of saying things, especially when giving orders to his
officers and men. He commands a thing done in a crisp-
ness of tone that leaves no doubt of his meaning. He
has an imperious gesture that speaks for itself and he is
full of nervous action that dominates every one around
him. But back of-it all.-is a: very infectious-smile.. Colo-
nel Howland orders, then smiles, and, even if a rookie
were fot inclined to obey quickly on the spoken order, he
could not help himself when the ‘K.O.’ gave him that
smile.”

What is said to have been one of the most brilliant
military events ever taking place in El Paso, Texas,
was the cotillion given by the officers of the 34th U.S.
Infantry on Nov. 9 at their tabernacle at Fort Bliss.
Almost every El Paco girl attending the affair pronounced
it “adorable,” and many say that it was the most pre-
tentious military hop ever given in El Paso, which is
saying a great deal. A point of unusual intefest were
the decorations for the occasion. An archway created
in a most artistic manner out of flags, was used in the
entrance of the auditorium leading to the ballroom, and
one girl was heard to say following the ball that the
decorations were so artistic that “they almost knocked
her down.” Lending much enjoyment to the occasion
was the supper served Ly the Thirty-Zourth officers, which
was carried off in a most pretentious manner. Old-
fashioned dances were the feature of the evening, and
much serpentine and confetti lent gaiety to the occasion.
The girls and matrons present were presented with at-
tractive silver vanity cases as favors. The guests in-
cluded. most of the younger society girls of El Paso, and
a number of Army officers and ladies.—EHI Paso Times.

The 12th annual banquet of the Hooker Association
of Massachusetts was served at Hotel Wadsworth, ‘Bos-
ton, Nov. 13, with the president of the association, Brig.
Gen. Philip Reade, U.S.A., retired, in the chair. He de-
livered the opening address, his su t being the “Doings
of Gen. ‘Fighting Joe’ Hooker.” of the guests was
Col. Gonzales Sidney Bingham, chief quartermaster on
the staff of Brigadier General Johnston, commanding the
Northeastern Department. The Hooker iation
hopes’ to publish. Hooker’s life and to set up on Look-
out Mountain a bronze memorial tablet overlooking Chat-
tanooga, Tenn. Here, Nov. 24, 1863, General Hooker
surprised, assaulted and captured the portion of the
forces of Gen. Braxton Bragg, who had hitherto. held
the key to the military occupancy of the region. When,
a year ago, General Reade was made the president of
the association he asked old veterans like Brig. Gen.
William H. Bisbee, U.S.A., retired, and others: “Where
was General Hooker buried? Is there a gravestone or
other memorial over his place of interment?’ Not one
could tell. Major Gen. Joseph Hooker was fifth of the
name. His father, Joseph Hooker, 4th, died in Water-
town, Jefferson county, N.Y. The general’s wife, Olivia
A. Grosbeck, also died in Watertown, but a careful
search of the records of the city named failed to disclose
the burial place of General Hooker. So General Reade
next turned his attention to Cincinnati,-Ohio. A visit
to Spring Grove Cemetery of that city developed the
fact that the sarcophagus of Major Gen. Joseph Hooker
and the monument of his wife had been erected over
Hooker’s remains in 1879. This has been photeerenies
a plate made, and is now the property of the Hooker
Association.

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1917,

AMERICA AT THE COUNCIL TABLE.

In announcing the arrival in England of the Ameri.
can War Mission, Secretary of State Lansing gave the
people of the United States a definite assurance as to
the purpose of the American mission in taking part ip
the conference of the Allied Powers in these words: “Ip
looking forward to the assembling of the conference, jt
cannot be too strongly emphasized that it is a war cop-
ference, and nothing else, devoted to devising ways and
means to intensify the efforts of the belligerents against
Germany by complete co-operation under a general plan
and thus bring the conflict to a speedy and satisfactory
conclusion.” The spirit behind these words was re
peated by Admiral W. S. Benson, U.S.N., at a confer.
ence held in the British Prime Minister’s official regj-
dence in London on Nov. 20, when he replied to Lloyd
George’s statement that, “close co-operation between the
United States and the Powers of Western Europe ean
bring still greater economic pressure to bear on the Cen-
tral Powers during the war.” Admiral Benson said that
“the United States is heart and soul in the war, and the
country absolutely indorses the statement of President
Wilson that none of its resources would be spared, its
men and ships, or work, in order to win the war.” Ad-
miral Benson then gave the conference the information

as to what the United States has done and is doing, not
only in training armies, in building fleets and in the
manufacture of munitions, but in food economy and the
eenstruction of air craft.

These two statements from our Secretary of State and

our Chief of Naval Operations, who had the silent sup-
port at the conference of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, Chief of
Staff, U.S.A., show a singleness of purpose that may
have a steadying effect at the Allied council table where
there has been a surplus of politics and a lack of con-
certed action far too long. The Italian disaster follow-
ing on the Russian debacle are proofs of that, as is the
turmoil aroused by Lloyd George’g speech in Paris on
Nov. 12, in which he scored the “too late’”’ policy of the
Allies. The British Premier made another one of his
characteristic frank speeches at the Anglo-American
conference on Noy. 20. His statement that “the collapse
of Russia and the recent reverse of Italy make it even
more imperative than before that the United States
should send as many troops as possible across the At
lantic as early as possible; I am anxious to know how
soon the first million men can be expected in France,”
may be taken as diplomatic camouflage intended for
home consumption in the British Isles. Our Government

has afforded the many British war delegations that have
visited us every opportunity to learn just what we are
doing in the way of sending troops and supplies abroad
and in building ships. That Great Britain must be fairly
well informed as to our plans for military participation
in the war is indicated by a statement of the work of
the American War Mission, issued in London on Noy.
19. It reads in part: “Admiral Benson has been in
constant touch with Admiral Jellicoe (First Sea Lord),
and Gen. Tasker H. Bliss with Gen. Sir William R.
Robertson, Chief of the Imperial Staff, at army head-
quarters. Bainbridge Colby has been engaged with Sit
Joseph Paten Maclay, Shipping Controller, at the Mir
istry of Shipping. Thomas Nelson Perkins, member of
the American Priority Board, is dealing with questions
of munitions in consultation with Winston Spencer
Churchill, Minister of Munitions, and with the First
Lord of the Admiralty and the Admiralty Controller.”

OBJECTS OF THE CENSORSHIP.

The War College Division of the General Staff has
again submitted a memorandum giving a long list of news
papers and periodicals which have violated the voluntary
censorship imposed upon the press of the country, and
citing each instance of such violation. . The length of the
latest list makes it worthy of serious consideration, but
its serious aspect is relieved to a material degree by the
fact that The Official Bulletin occupies a position similar
to the revered Abou Ben Adhem—its name “leads all
the rest.” In justice to most of the publications lis‘ed
it should be stated that in a great many cases their
violations consisted in publishing information contained
in official “hand outs” and which, therefore, they had
every reason to believe had been passed upon by the
highest authority. Noting assignments of important off-
cers constitutes the gravest offense, with mention of
movements of troops and war preparations occupying the
next positions of importance.

Army officers who have to do with the censorship ar
of the opinion that the authentic identification of units
in France would be of more yalue to the enemy thal
possibly any other single item connected with the Army.
Such information is deemed of even more possible value
to the enemy than, for example, the exact number o
troops maintained by the United States in France to-days

If this statement needed confirmation, it could be ob-
tained from the well-known fact that the Germans make
every effort to secure a few prisoners from various sec-
tors at more or less periodic intervals in order that they
may keep track of the troops opposing them. Numerous
raiding parties are organized with no other object in view.
Once obtained the information serves many uses. The
presence of specially organized shock units indicates the
probable sector for the next “push”; the presence of new
troops enables the enemy to hammer lines held by men
whose morale has not been tested.

The value to the enemy of foreknowledge of troop move-
ments is as obvious as is the necessity for keeping secret
the location of plants where new war devices are being
tried. Publication of items under these heads has prac-
tically ceased under the voluntary censorship regulations,
but the necessity for better co-ordination within the War
Department itself is indicated by the fact that the War
College objects to the publication of items endorsed by
other bureaus and given to the public. An amusing inci-
dent that indicated the need of co-ordination occurred
during the recent Liberty Loan bond-selling campaign.
It was officially and triumphantly announced to be held
for publication a few days later—that a certain organ-
ization, which it was obvious from the context was sta-
tionedgin France, had made a large subscription to the
loan. Before the “release” date came around another
equally official communication hastily withdrew the item ;
and it was never published. Its withdrawal had it oc-
curred only a little later might have put in a serious
quandry some publication that printed well ahead of its
date of issue. It would perhaps have had the choice of
being recorded as a censorship violator or delaying its
edition and going to large expense to reprint it.

TRAINING CAMP APPOINTMENTS.

The lists of men recommended to be commissioned
from the second series of Reserve Officers’ Training
Camps will be made public by the commanders of the
several camps and not by the Committee on Public In-
formation in Washington, as was done in the case of
the first camps. These lists will be divided into three
classes as follows:

Class A.—Men recommended to be commissioned and
called to active duty at the close of the camp—Nov. 27—
to fill existing vacancies in the National Army, or to be
attached to the Regular Army for duty. These will be
granted leave until Dec. 15 in order that they may settle
their private affairs, purchase uniforms and equipment,
On Dec. 15 they will proceed to the station to which
assigned.

Class

ete,

B.—Men recommended to be. commissioned
eventually as provisional second lieutenants in the Regu-
lar Army. At the close of the camps these will be com-
missioned in the Officers’ Reserve Corps and attached to
Regular Army regiments for duty and subsequently will
be commissioned in the Regular Army as vacancies occur.

Class C.—AlIll other men recommended for commissions
from the second camps. These will be commissioned in
the Officers’ Reserve Corps or National Army, called to
active duty and assigned as additional officers with vari-
ous units. For the men on this last list no vacancies
exist at the present time. They will be assigned to va-
cancies as they occur, in the meantime serving on active
duty as indicated.

The Adjutant General sent telegraphic instructions to
all commanding officers of Reserve Officers’ training
camps on Noy. 22 directing them to make public the
names of the men to be commissioned at their camps.
The first of the camp commandants to issue such a list
was Col. Charles W. Fenton, U.S.A., of Fort Myer,
about 900 names being annouhced with their grades.

WILL ORGANIZE CAVALRY DIVISIONS.
Twenty-seven. regiments. of Cavalry are to be_ in-
cluded in the immediate plans for the division reorgan-
ization in that arm of the Service which are now being
discussed by the War College. This statement, wLlica
is the only one made public by the War. Department,
bears out the announcement in our issue of Nov. 10,
page 395, that such a scheme was under way.

The French and British high commands are said to
have at their disposal cavalry units adequate for present
contingencies. While the usefulness of cavalry has been
fully demonstrated in their great drive. this week in
France, it is not thought that the organization of new
Cavalry commands for our Army means any present
prospect of duty over seas. The most logical station
would seem to be on our Southern border, across which,
by the way, have come recently mutterings of a situa-
tion which seems to call for serious consideration.

The suggestion has been made that in raising the
division authority be given to re-establish some of the
efficient National Guard Cavalry commands now in the
Federal Service, that were transformed into other ele-
ments. New York and Massachusetts, to cite two instances,
were strong in tae mounted arm before the transforma-
tion of such troops into provisional field artillery and
machine-gun units was ordered. This suggestion does
not meet with official approval, however. ‘The fact that
a deficiency of men for organizations already author-
ized from the drafted contingents will continue to exist
even after the second call makes it improbable that the
Cavalry division is to be organized from the National
Guard or National Army. The only procedure re-
maining, apparently, is to organize the additional regi-
ments as units of the Regular Army and recruit them

by voluntary enlistment. It is believed that warm re-
sponse would be made to such a call.

The maximum strength of a Cavalry Division of the
U.S. Army as prescribed in the Tables of Organization,
approved in May, 1917, is 18,176 officers and men. The
division ‘is composed of three Cavalry brigades, aggre-
gating 4,756 men in each; three regiments to a brigade.
As auxiliaries to such a division there is one regiment
of Field Artillery (horse), 1,374; one battalion of
Mounted Engineers, 887; one Field Sigral Battalion,
259; one Aero Squadron, 173; and division wagon and
motor trains, brigns the total of officers and men to
18,176. There are 708 horse-drawn wagons, 475 motor
wagons, 21 field pieces, 23 motor cars, 2 trailers, 12 air-
planes, 36 ambulances and 97 other carriages. There
are 16,611 horses and 2,422 mules, 84 machine guns,
13,430 rifles and 16,121 pistols.

COLONEL CARTER TO HEAD NEW MILITIA.

Col. Jesse McI. Carter, Cav., U.S.A., now acting
Chief of the Militia Bureau, has been selected as the
active head of the new National Militia to be organized
for use in guarding public utilities and Government
plants and as an emergency weapon for use by the Gov-
ernment in case of great internal stress, either as a re-
sult of foreign machinations or otherwise. The nomi-
nation of Colonel Carter. to be a brigadier general is
now before the President with a dozen others in the
same general-oflficer grade. Colonel Carter no doubt will
be continued in his present position, becoming the actual
instead of acting chief of the bureau.

Plans for the organization of the new Militia will not
be completed until answers have been returned to a
memorandum sent by the Militia Bureau to all States’
Adjutants General. It is the present intention of the
department, however, to incorporate in the new force
the scores of Home Guard, State Constabulary and simi-
lar organizations which have been formed since the Na-
tional Guard was drafted into the Federal Service. For
the time being and at points of greatest importance
Regular Army :egiments will be used as guards.

The point is emphasized that the War Department
has no authority to call upon the states for the new
formations, but it is hoped that the various units will
volunteer and act under Federal direction. In New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey and
West Virginia the “Home Guard Idea” has been devel-
oped so thoroughly that well-organized troops are ready
for service.

Colonel Carter’s memorandum to the various states’
adjutants general called attention to the proclamation
issued by the President with reference to enemy aliens in
this country and asks their aid in carrying out promptly
and effectively the regulations put into force. Answers
were requested from each state to the following questions:

-“What forces are now available in your state for this

Are there any forces sufficiently strong to do the
work effectively? What facilities are available for the
transportation of state guards? What do you see in
your state that needs more effective policing? What fa-
cilities seem to be menaced by an alien population? Will
there be any objection to having state guards or troops
under the direction of the Bureau of Militia Affairs?
Will state guards and state contsabularies object to being
employed in the enforcement of the President’s procla-
mation?’

duty?

National Guard Commissions.

The Secretary of War has authorized a new method
of issuing commissions to officers in the National Guard
in Federal Service, which will go far toward eliminating
much of the useless detail work formerly necessary.
These commissions will not designate the branch of
the Service to which the officer is assigned in the first
instance, a typical commission stating that John Doe
is appointed “a captain, National Guard, in the Ser-
vice of the United States.” This system will enable the
War Department to transfer such officers at will from
one branch to another without the necessity of recom-
missioning them or “attaching” them to the new arm.
The ruling which permitted the new precedure was
based, it is said, on the fact that National Guardsmen
are drafted into the Federal Service not as organizations
but as individuals.

<i
-

THE CASE OF OUR BNEMY-FRIENDS.

The State Department continues to hold its own coun-
sel as to the reasons which have led to the policy of
separating our enemies into two camps, Germany in
one and her allies in the other. So complete has been
the silence upon this phase of our international relations
that even the most bombastic of special correspondents
has not ventured to speculate as to the real reason.
Official Washington, outside the small circle which in-
cludes those who know, believes that the explanation is
two-fold: The difficulty of aligning our “war aims” with
those of certain of our Allies, and the desire to keep open
a definite line of communication with the weak link in
the Teutonic chain.

President Wilson evidently does not subscribe to the
axiom that “those who are not for us are against us,” at
least not to the extent which would lead, for example, to
a declaration of a state of war against Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria when such a declaration would serve no
better end than to clear the international record. It is
known that the Administration has received, even within
recent days, intimation that Austria is the link most
likely to break, and has decided to maintain even a sem-

blance of relationship with the dual monarchy in order
that an opening may be had for propaganda within that
country looking to its separation from the Teutonic alli-
ance. The difficulty with regard to contrasting war aims,
between this country and Italy, for example, may be a
contributory cause, but the above is‘undoubtedly a more
potent reason for the existing situation.

NAVY AND MARINE CORPS NOTES.
Appointment of Navy Selection Board.

Secretary Daniels will take up during the coming week
the appointing of a selection board of nine rear admirals,
to be convened early in December for the purpose of
recommending permanent promotions to fill the present
and prospective vacancies in the line and also temporary
promotions to fill vacancies created by the readjustment
of grades noted in our issue of Nov. 10, page 384. These
temporary vacancies will necessitate tte advancement of
four captains, twenty-one commanders and fifty-one lieu-
tenant commanders to the ‘next higher grades; at least
110 lieutenants and 247 lieutenants (J.G.) will be due for
temporary promotion by reason of seniority.

Redistribution of Marine Officers.

Based on the total commissioned strength of 1,181, as
of Nov. 15, 1917, the following distribution in the com-
missioned grades of the Marine Corps has been ordered:
Majors, 139; captains, 368; first lieutenants, 308; sec-
ond lieutenants, 309. This will operate to promote four
captains, fourteen first lieutenants and twenty-two sec-
ond lieutenants, taking up the captains through Henry
M. Butler, first lieutenants through James H. McGan,
and second lieutenants through Howard B. Freeman.

Recruiting and Selective Service.

The publication of the new Selective Service Regula-
tions has caused a few important changes in the regu-
lations governing recruiting for the Navy and a letter
o finstruction has been sent from the Bureau of Naviga-
tion to all ships and recruiting stations embodying
these modifications. An applicant for enlistment must
present a certificate from his local board stating that uis
class and serial number are so far down the list that
he is not within the current quota to be supplied by that
board. Having been enlisted, the recruit must present
to his local board a certificate signed by a commissioned
office rof the Navy or Marine Corps to be filed with his
questionaire. The registrant wil Ithen be placed in
Class Five, as in the Naval Reserve.

The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, U.S.N., has
completed plans looking to the establishment cf two base
hospitals, each to comprise at least 500 beds. The con-
struction of these hospitals will be pushed as soon as
their location has been decided upon so that they may be
ready in case of an emergency.

ee

In spite of the chorus of approval that has gone up
over Lloyd George’s blunt statement made in the British
Parliament that the British fleét had sunk five subma-
rines on Noy. 17, many of the officers of the U.S. Navy
believe that the practice of the British Admiralty in
concealing the facts as to the destruction or capture of
U-boats has had a remarkable psychological effect on
the sailors of the German navy and therefore is a suc-
cessful plan. Speaking on this point a Navy officer of
long experience said: “In the beginning of the German
submarine campaign the submersibles went to sea ahd
returned to their home ports with more than a fair de-
gree of regularity considering the hazardous nature of
their work. Then U-boat after U-boat failed to return
and nothing was learned of what had become of them.
Once in a great while the British Admiralty would make
an announcement of the capture or destruction of a
U-boat, but this was evidently only when political con-
ditions made it absolutely necessary. The general rule
was to maintain silence. Then the U-boat service began
to assume an air of mystery and terror for the German
sailors. The boats went out, but did not come back in
increasing numbers and nothing was known of the fate
of the crews. Sailors are superstitious, and this mystery
began to prey on the nerves of the men of the German
fleet until their dissatisfaction seems to have brought
about such mutinies as occurred in that service of late
with reported killings of officers. It has been stated
in authentic dispatches that another result <f this
psychological effect has been that the failure cf men to
volunteer for the U-boat service, which used to be the
rule, has resulted in making the service compulsory in
the German navy. A navy that can destroy enemy ships
and keep the knowledge of how it is done from chim is
scoring perfect hits right along.” F

Discussing the German submarine campaign in Wash-
paign which has been worked out in elaborate detail
ington on Nov. 19, Secretary Daniels said that the sit-
uation is well within the control of the nations against
which the U-boat is being used, and while it is still
a danger to merchant ships, means have been found of
nullifying to a large extent the effectiveness of the sub-
marine. More submarines have been destroyed within
the last two months, the Secretary said, than were de-
stroyed during the entire preceding year. A dispatch
from London to the New York Times on this same date
says that “it may be stated that the constantly grow-
ing success of the anti-submarine warfare is the result,
not merely of new devices, but also of a plan of cam-
and which has not yet reached its full development.”

had never fired a gun in their lives before that day be-
fore noontime, at the 100 yards’ range eleven men had
made scores up from forty-one to forty-nine out of a
possible fifty, and two of the company commanders had
made perfect scores. Coh Charles R. Howland, N.A,,
commandant of the regiment, added to the enthusiasm
of the occasion and to the admiration his men have for
him by making a bullseye at 100 yards with his first

‘NATIONAL GUARD PAY INSTRUCTIONS.

In Bulletin No. 60, dated Oct. 20, 1917, just issued
by the War Department, appears in full the decision of
the Comptroller as to continuous-service pay of enlisted
men and longevity pay of officers of the National Guard

drafted into the service of the United States which ap-
peared in the ARMY AND Navy JOURNAL for Aug. 25,
page 1748, and in addition to this instructions ‘“con-
cerning the data that are required tv be placed on the
pay rolls of enlisted men and the pay accounts of offi-
cers.of such National Guard who claim increase in pay
on account of prior service.”

The general instructions point out that those officers
and enlisted men of the National Guard who

drafted with their organizations or individually on -
5, 1917, or have been or may be so drafted after that
date, into Federal Service as the National Guard of
the United States will be allowed to count prior service
in the National Guard and Organized Militia not in the
Federal Service for the purpose of longevity 01 nu-
ous-service increase in pay, but only ng as they
continue after the date of draft to be 1 bers of the
National Guard of the United: States under such draft.
An officer of the National Guard who was drafted
into Federal Service on Aug. 5, 1917, 01 that date
and has had prior service in the Guard or Org Zed
Militia which entitles him to longevity in > of pay
under the above decision “will obtain a’ certifi of
his service from the Adjutant General the state, ter
ritory or District of Columbia in which said sery was
rendered and file it with the first pay a int on h
he is paid such longevity pay. If he has had prior ser:
vice as an officer or enlisted man in the Regular or Vol-
unteer Army, the Navy or Marine Corps will e
required to furnish certificate of such servi as 1e
can be verified from the records in Washington, but he
will enter on the first pay account on which he ims
longevity pay therefor, or append thereto a stat nt
showing in detail the exact period o uch serv jn
each organization and the rank or 1 t in.
If from his personal records he is unabk is
tively the period of any such service t ir
or Volunteer Army, Navy or Marine C > ild
write to The Adjutant General of the A Washing-
ton, D.C., giving such detailed information as he can
and request a statement of his service. If an off $
unable to establish his right to longevity pay unti I
he has been paid for one or more months he should Q
credit on the pay account containing a statement of
prior service for any arrears of longevity pay due him.
Evidence of prior service as described herein will 'e-
quired to substantiate the first pay account on \ B
an officer is paid longevity pay; subsequent pa 1c
counts will simply show in the space provided therefor
that he has completed five, ten, fifteen or twenty years’

service as ihe case may be.”

In the case of enlisted mén of the National Guard
who have been drafted and who claim prior service in
the National Guard, Organized Militia, Regular or Vo!

unteer Army, or Marine Corps (Navy service not
counted for enlisted men) his immediate commanding
officer must obtain a ‘statement of such prior service
either from the Adjutant General of the state where
such service -was performed or from the Adjutant Gen-
eral of the Army if the man is unable to furnish au-
thentic evidence of such service. When this informa-

tion is obtained the commanding: officer will enter record
thereof on the soldier’s service record, noti I
marks thereon the source from which 1
period of service was obtained. The fi

which a soldier is credited ‘with continuous-servict

crease’ in‘ pay, ‘and subsequent pay rolls until paid 1
increase, will show the enlistment period in whi he
is serving and in column for “Remarks” a detailed -

ment of such prior service, subsequent pay rolls s

showing the enlistmént period in Which the man is

serving. In cases where a mian’s right to .continudu:
service pay is not established until he has been p
for one or more months after date of draft, he she

a The French general commanding the sector has men-
ad tioned in the despatches fifteen American officers and
' soldiers, including three who were killed, for excellent
me military qualities and for bravery displayed in the re-
or cent trench raid. A note accompanying the citation
st says that between 8,000 and 10,000 shells were used in
y the attack, which had been in preparation for three

months, down to the finest details. -The results obtained
by the enemy were very small, he having been unable to
penetrate more than the first line trenches because of
the resistance of the American soldiers with rifle and
d pistol fire and hand grenades. The enemy had to con-

of tent himself, the citation continues, with carrying off a
d few prisoners. .

A young lieutenant identified only as “from Meeteetse,
Wyoming,” rescued a private of the American forces re-
cently under circumstances such as in the British_army
usually wins either the Victoria Cross or -the Distin-
guished Service Order. The private, a member of a
patrol, lost his way at night, and went to sleep in a
shell erater in No Man’s Land, The patrol returned,
and it was found he was missing. At daylight the Ger-
mans saw the American soldier near the line, and opened
fre with rifles and grenades. ‘The soldier remained in
the crater. The lieutenant went out over No Man’s
Land through a hail of enemy machine gun bullets sev-
eral hundred yards, got the soldier, and led him back to
the American lines, amid cheers. :

A large shipment of turkeys, mince meat, cranberries,
puts, raisins, oranges, and sweet potatoes for the Thanks-
giving dinner of the American soldiers has arrived in
Franee. It will be distributed among the various in-
struction centers and villages where the troops are bil-
leted. Other shipments will follow.

NAVAL ARCHITECTS’ MEETING.

As a result of wartime conditions only four U.S. Navy
oflicers were listed to read papers at the annual meeting
of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers in New York city on Noy. 15 and 16. The officers
and the papers they were announced to read were:
“Cargo Ship Lines of Simple Form,” by Naval Constr.
William MecEntee; “Submarine Hulls—Comments on
Various Types,” by Naval Constr. E. S. Land; “An
Analysis of the Principles of Industrial Management,”
by Naval Constr. T. G. Roberts. Asst. Naval Constr.
A. W. Carmichael was to have read a paper on “Labor
and Patriotism,” but he explained that he had sub-
mitted his paper to the Navy Department and it was
not approved. . In the absence of R. H. M. Robinson,
however, Constructor Carmichael read a paper of the
former on fabricated ships.

In his opening address Stevenson Taylor, president

of the society, dwelt on the great increase of merchant
shipbuilding in the U.S., stating that “in November,
1916, there were about sixty-six shipyards in the United
States, in twenty-seven of which wooden ships were
built. Now there are about 142 shipyards, fifty-nine of
which are building wooden vessels and four composite
ones.”
_ Secretary Daniels and Chief Constr. Washington L,
Capps, U.S.N., attended the dinner of the society on
the night of Nov. 16. Secretary Daniels said among
other things: “There’s no place in America to-day for
men who stop the wheels of government because they
cannot have their way in labor. In this hour no man
has a right to think of himself. We are all Americans
and we ought to forget profits and wages and work for
the country.”

Chief Constructor Capps said: “We need ships and
Will build ships, but it will requice complete co-opera-

tion between the men who actually build them, those
who supervise and those who supply the capital. We
can overcome all troubles if we go about it in the right
spirit and right way. In meeting the situation we now
find divisions. One, of labor, feels it is not being treated
fairly in that it is not getting its proportion. In carry-
ing this-work to a sctisfactory conclusion we have got
to forget self, and the men who supply the work of the
hands and the Others who supply the capital must be
willing to serve.”

duty in foreign waters, with a probable loss of twenty-
one was reported to the Navy Department in
dispatches from Vice Admiral W. 8. The Navy
Department on Nov. 21 made public a subsequent dis-

Lieut. Comdr, Walter E. Reno was born in Iowa, Oct.
3, 1881, and was appointed to the Naval Academy in
September, 1901. e was assigned to the command of
the Chauncey on April 5, 1916, and had performed
over ten years’ sea service. He had performed about
five years of shore duty.

Ensign Charles F. Wedderburn was born in Illinois,
Oct. 2, 1892. He was appointed to the Naval Academy
July 7, 1911, and had performed about three years of
sea duty and three years and two months of shore duty.
He was assigned to the Chauncey July 5, 1915.

Ensign Harry G. Skinner, jr., was born in Baltimore,
Md., in 1889. He was a graduate of the U.S. Naval
Academy and resigned Dec. 9, 1913, while holding the
rank of midshipman. He later became a member of the
U.S. Naval Reserve force. He received his appointment
to ensign in the U.S. Navy in May last.

Secretary Daniels authorized this statement on Nov.
22: “The U.S. destroyer Chauncey, which was sunk at
one o’clock Monday morning, was rammed by the trans-
port Rose, according to a dispatch received by the Navy
Department from Vice Admiral Sims to-day. Both ves-
sels were running without lights at the time of the acci-
dent, the Rose crashing into the Chauncey on the port
side abreast of the fourth funnel. The after portion of
the destroyer immediately submerged and officers and
men in that part were drowned. After the collision the
remaining portion of the vessel floated for about an hour
and the transport was enabled to rescue the remainder of
the officers and crew. They were taken to port by the
Rose.”

The Rose was not identified by naval officials in Wash-
ington, there being no record of an American transport of
that name, and Admiral Sims was asked to clear up that
point.

The Chauncey was launched at Philadelphia in 1901,
and was first placed in commission Noy. 20, 1902. She
was 250 feet long over all, and had a breadth of twenty-
three feet one inch. Her speed was 28.64 knots. Her
complement was ninety-one officers and men.

At the outbreak of the present war, the Chauncey was
stationed in the Philippines. The safe arrival of the
Chauncey in European waters after her long voyage
from the Asiatic station must be taken as evidence of
the staunch construction of our destroyers.

SERVICE FLAGS.

A resolution introdyced in the last Congress by Rep-
resentative Emerson, but upon which no action was
taken by Congress, as was noted in our issue of Nov.
3, page 360, proposed an appropriation to provide “ser-
vice flags” of the type designed, the resolution stated,
“by Capt. R. L. Queisser, of Cleveland”’—a flag with a
red border, a white center, and a star for each member
of a family or employee in U. 8. Service. The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer of Nov. 18 says: “Flag makers in all
parts of the United States yesterday were warned that
Robert L. Queisser and the United Service Flag Com-
pany, of Cleveland, have exclusive patent rights to the
new service flag adopted by thousands of employers and
families, who have sent employees and relatives to the
Army or Navy. Mr. Queisser, designer of the service
flag, is a former captain in the Ohio National Guard.

“It was claimed by flag makers in Cleveland and other
cities last night that Mr. Queisser, through the United
Service Flag Company, has demanded a royalty of ten
per cent. on all flags incorporating his design. Mr.
Quéisser confirmed this. ‘I am going to make the flag
makers of this country pay the American Red Cross a
nice little pile of money before I am through,’ he de-
clared. ‘I have patented the design solely for that pur-
pose. I have made arrangements by which fifty per cent.
of all royalties I receive on the service flag patent is to
go to the Ohio chapter of the Red Cross.’ Flag makers
in Cleveland and other cities last night declared they
were unaware that the flag possessed patent rights, and
said the profits did not permit of payment of a ten per
cent. royalty. Some of the firms, it was stated, already
have taken the matter up with patent agents in’ Wash-
ington and are awaiting their advice as to the position
of the trade. It was further declared that some of the
larger flag makers have been turning out service flags
by thousands, and that the royalties involved will run
into several thousand dollars,” : ema

As to this Captain Queisser himself writes: “Being an

ex-officer, I know what Red Cross work means and there-
fore was glad to set aside fifty per cent. of our profits for
Red Cross work. “Let me add that I never heard of any
of those flag manufacturers that were recently called be-
fore a Congressional investigating committee for advanc-
ing their prices for U.S. flags from 100 to 500 per cent.
giving fifty per cent. of their profits to any cause. We
have two sons (both first lieutenants) in the Army and
it was with them in mind and that their mother might
have a visible reminder of her sons that I designed the
Service Flag.”

Inguiry at the Patent Office, the New York Times re-
ports, showed that a design patent on a service flag had
been granted to L. Queisser, of Cleveland, Ohio, and
notice of it printed in the Patent Office Gazette of Nov. 6.
To the same ; atentee was granted a patent on a watch
fob service flag design. It was said at the Patent Office
that no other patent for a service flag_design had been
granted. Report that the flag had been patented brought
protests from fiag dealers. In a letter to the Times a
Brattleboro firm-said: “Our firm Las been selling service
flags for some time. We are astonished to learn that this
flag, adopted by the Government, recommended -by the
President, and sold mostly to mothers whose sons are in
the Service, should be the private monopoly of some in-
dividual.”

The explanation was made at the Patent Office that a
precedent for granting the design patent on*a service
flag was found in the case of special flags for yachts or
other ships, which were protected from infringement by
design patents. The statement was made that the Patent
Office would not grant a design patent on any flag based
on the design of the American standard, but the service
flag to show war service of individuals was not regarded
as following the design of the Stars and Stripes.

The Patent Office is unwilling to pass upon the ques-
tion whether any service flag similar in design to that
patented is protected by the patent design. That is a
matter, it was said, which must be passed upon by the
courts.

CARE OF NAVY DEPENDENTS.

The recent benefit held in New York for the Navy
Relief. Society. resulting in an addition to its available
funds of $22,000, and the donations from Boston, Chi-
cago and other places have put the society in good
financial position to meet present claims upon it, but
far from where it should stand in case of some naval
disaster. The war insurance, which now is a protec-
tion to the families of Navy officers and enlisted men,
is a relief upon the purse of the society, but only upon
the financial side of the organization. Assistant ‘Xec-
retary of the Navy Roosevelt recently said: “The war
insurance and allowances are a justice and aid to the
dependents of a deceased officer or seaman in the Navy,
for they will keep a roof over the heads and put f
into the mouths of those who have lost their man. But
surely they are entitled to more than that in return
for what they have given up, and it is the personal
touch that can be given by the men and women of the
Navy Relief Society that is needed. Sailor folk under-
stand sailor folk, and the members in a sympathetic way
can aid in securing suitable employment for those able
to work, and to look after the education of those who
should attend school. So, let the society grow stronger
every day.”

The Society of Sponsors, which is composed of ladies
who have been sponsors for the battleships of the Navy
at their launching, has recently adopted a child whose
father was lost in the Service, and is doing all that
can be done for its welfare. In event of death of a
Navy man the society at once investigates and in case
of need provides funds to meet emergencies until the
Government begins to make the payments through the
War-Risk Insurance Bureau of the Treasury Depart-
ment.

SERVICE INSURANCE NOTES.

Applications for insurance will be accepted from any
person within the degrees of relationship mentioned in
the statute providing for war-risk insurance, when made
in behalf of a soldier or sailor, the Bureau of War-Risk
Insurance has decided Such applications will be sub-
ject, however, to subsequent confirmation on the part
of the insured. If he refuses to ratify the action the
premiums will be returned to the person who paid them
and the policy cancelled. A negative reply is being
made to the scores of applicants who ask permission to
name their fiancées as benficiaries. The law authoriz-
ing the issuance of this insurance is most specific in its
provision that the protection is for possible dependents
only and it has been held that a fiancée does not come
under this classification.

Status of Field Clerks.

Decision will soon be made as to just where the line
will be drawn between those who are and those who are
not entitled to insurance. Hundreds of applications
have been filed by Army field clerks, for instance, and
these are all held up pending the decision referred to.
In view of the fact that the J dge Advocate General
has repeatedly held that field clerks are as much a part
of the military establishment as a member of any arm
of the Service, the result in this particular case is be-
lieved to be a foregone conclusion.

Beneficiaries Named in Applications.

Instructions issued by the Bureau of War-Risk In-
surance, Division of Military and Naval Insurance, as
to beneficiaries named in applications, announce that
any number of beneficiaries may be named in the appli-
eation for imsurance. All beneficiaries must, however,
be included within the classes permitted by the act,
namely, spouse, child, grandchild, parent, brother or
sister. If a person named as beneficiary does not come
within the classes permitted the application is not there-
by invalidated, but is to be considered as if such per-
son were not named. The applicant shall be promptly
notified that such person cannot qualify as a—bene-
ficiary, but that the insurance will be issued for total
and permanent disability and will be payable at the
death of the insured to the person or persons, within
the permitted class of beneficiaries, who would under
the laws of the state of the residence of the insured be
entitled to his personal pro in case of intestacy;
further, that he may at. any name a beneficiary
within the classes permitted by the act.

“Spouse” does not include a divorced person. A di-
vorced wife or husband is not a spouse within the

meaning of that term in Section 402, and should nof be
named as a beneficiary in the application.

An application for insurance designating as _ bene-
ficiary a person living in enemy country is not thereby
invalidated. In every such case the applicant shal! be
promptly notified as to the lega! difficulties involved in

the designated beneficiary ever réceiving the benc Sts of

the insurance.
Training Camp Students Included.

Members of Officers’ Training Camps are included
under the act: They may, therefore, apply for insur-
ance before they are discharged from the camps. Those
who are granted insurance but do not get commissions,
however, must pay premiums to the War-Risk Bureau
after leaving the camp, as the insurance lapséS if pre-
miums are not paid. Men who have taken out insur-
ance and who receive commissions must notify the Bu-
rean of War-Risk Insurance of their rank, and of the
company and regiment to which assigned, in order that

proper entries may be made on their policies and ar-
ranzements made for deductions of premiums from
their pay. ,
Members of Officers’ Training Camps are subject to
compulsory ailotment and their families entitled to the
family benefit if allotment is made. Members of the

present camps except men regularly. enlisted in the
armed forces of the United States, however, are ex-
empted from the compulsory allotment for November,
in view of the fact that the camps terminate on Nov. 26,
unless application for the Government allowance be made
by the man himself, or by or on behalf of a prospective
beneficiary, im which case the compulsory allotment
must be made if ‘the application is approved.

Regularly enlisted men in the armed forces of the
United States are subject to the compulsory allotment
and must fill out the proper blank. Those enlisted men
who receive commissions before the end of the month
are exempted from the compulsory allotment for No-
vember and the blanks filled out by them may be can-
celled.

Members of training camps are entitled to compensa-
tion under the act.

Witnesses for Applications.

No application for insurance is to be considered de-
ficient by reason of its not being witnessed. The signa-
ture of a witness is not necessary in the case of an ap-
plication by a commissioned officer. In the case of ap-
plic ations by persons other than ‘commissioned officers
it is very desirable that the signature of a witness ap-
pear. Accordingly, wherever practicable an effort shall
be made to secure from the applicant an application
amendment for supplying the signature of the witness.

One Billion Dollers of Insuance.

It was confidently expected that, by the close of the
eurrent week, the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance would
have accepted applications for more than $1,000,000,000.
Up to the close of business on Nov. 21 the number of

policies listed totalled 104,212, representing $592,265,-
600 of insurance.

ARMY ITEMS.

A board of Regular Army o'‘licers, consisting of Major
Howard H. Johnson, M.C., and Capts. Julien R. Bern
heim and John R. Ames, Dental Corps, has been ap-
pointed to meet in Washington for the purpose of rating
the papers submitted in the recent examination of ap-
plicants for appointment in the Dental Corps of the
Army and to determine the fitness of the applicants for
appointment. There are about 100 vacancies to be filled

has been sent to this country for treatment. After a
short stay in a New York hospital, he has proceeded to
his home in Chicago.

Over three hundred first and second lieutenants of
Cavalry, Field Artillery and Infantry, who have been
under instruction at the Army Service Schools at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., were relieved on Nov. 14, and were
ordered to join their regiments.

Col. J. S. Fair, Q.M.C., accompanied by Mr. Fred-
erick P. Keppel, assistant to the Secretary of War, left
Washington on Nov. 19 for a tour of inspection of vari-
ous cantonments. Colonel Fair will be occupied on this
duty for about one week.

Second Lieut. William R. Deeble, jr., Coast Art. Corps,
U.S.A., at Fort Warren, Mass., has been detailed on duty

been appointed aid to Brig. Gen. George G. Gatley, Nat.
Army, at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S.C.

Capt. Frank B. Davis, 14th U.S. Inf., has been or-
dered to San Francisco for examination for retirement.

A fire started between decks on the U.S. Army trans-
port Pastores lying at the Hoboken port of embarkation
on Nov. 20 and the local firemen said considerable dam-
age had been done to the ship, although Army officers
would not discuss the matter. The entire 2d Battalion,
49th U.S. Inf., was called out and put on guard, bar-
Ting approach to the piers from all directions, except
to the firemen. The Pastores is a twin-screw steel
steamship of 7,781 gross tonnage, built at Belfast in
1912 for the passenger and fruit trade between New
York and the West Indies. She is owned by the United
Fruit Company and was transferred from British to
American registry in 1915.

Max Linder, a soldier in the Q.M. Corps at Fort
Logan, Colo., and said to be a German naval reservist.
was arrested on Nov. 22 by Federal officers, suspected of
being a spy.

Special instruction in the use of the bayonet is being
given to details of commissioned officers and non-coms.
at Camp Upton, Yaphank, N.Y., by Sergt. Major G. C.

net work and won his experience in the hard school of
battle. His instruction has already been attended with
the most beneficial results,

Officers of the 344th Inf., Col. B. T. Simmons com-
manding, entertained at a hop om the evening of Nov. 10
at the Elks Club in Rockford, Ill. Music was furnished

by the regimental band, and supper was served at I1
o'clock. Favors for ladies were miniature crossed rifles
(silver) with figures 344. Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Martin,
Col. and Mrs. Simmons, Lieut. Col. and Mrs. Faulkner,
Majors McLaren and Allison and nearly all the company
officers were present. It was the first social affair of
the season and was a great success.

The 4th U.S. Infantry football team at Camp Greene,
Charleston, North Carolina, recently defeated the eleven
of the 50th Infantry by a score of 1% to 7 in the second
game of the football double bill. The 4th scored three
touchdowns and kicked goal once, while the best the 50th
could do was to cross the goal line once and kick goal.
Fumbles had an important bearing upon the result of
the contest. Both teams fought desperately, and the con-
test was not as one-sided as the score indicates. Appar-
ently defeated without a score, the 50th’s fighters made
a game rally in the last part of the third quarter and
sent the ball over for their lone touchdown. The final
quarter was featured by particularly desperate strug-
gling, with each side alternately switehed from offensive
to defensive play. Lieut. R. A. Wilson, former Yale
quarterback and All-American player, was referee.

The G.C.M. in the case of Cadet John T. Bell, Ist
class, U.S.M.A., whose sentence of dismissal was com-
muted by President Wilson, appears under our Army
head in this issue.

Pvt. Gus Whittlock, a member of a machine-gun ¢com-
pany, 344th Inf., at Camp Grant, IIL, was sentenced on
Nov. 10 to dishonorable discharge with loss of pay and
allowances and to three years hard labor at Leavenworth,
Kas., for refusing to wear the uniform of a United States
soldier.

Pyt. Chester A. Lynch, Co. I, 6th Regiment, Penn. Inf.,
found guilty of failing to respond to the eall for service
on July 15 last and of desertion, was sentenced by a
G.C.M. to five ye_rs at hard labor, dishonorable discharge
and loss of all pay and allowances.

Pvt. Howard D. Sims, Co. C., 25th, convicted by a
G.C.M. of disrespect towards Fem. 2d Lieut. Stanley
Satterwhite, 25th U. S. Inf., was sentenced to be dis-
honorably discharged with loss of all pay and allow-
ances and to be confined at hard labor for two years.
The sentence was approved. Private Sims said to Lieu-
tenant Satterwhite, in a surly and insubordinate man-
uer, “My name is Sims, when you want me you will
have to call me by name; there are others smoking
around here and I don’t answer unless my name is
valled,” or words to that effect. Sims also contemptu-
ously retained a cigarette in his mouth and assumed an
insolent and defiant attitude while Lieutenant Satter-
white was addressing him.

Charles E. Gerlach, a civilian in the employ of the
Government of the United States, was recently found
guilty by a G.C.M., of violation of the 96th Article of
b ted and was sentenced to hard labor for five years at

Fort Jay, N.Y. Gerlach was accompanying the Army of
the United States in the field, and was being returned to
the United States on board the U.S.A.C.T. El Occi-
dente. About Sept. 25, 1917, while the ship was in the
danger zone, Gerlach was called up by Capt. D. A. Wil-
cox, Q.M., to take a lookout station, to assist in safe-
guarding the ship while passing through the danger zone,
did in the presence of the master of the ship, Captain
Patten, chief engineer, Mr. Bennett, and the chief naval
officer, Mr. Redfield, refuse to obey the order.

M. OF ENLISTED MEN, 24TH U.S. INF.
The prosecution in the case of the sixty-three men of
the 24th U.S. Infantry being tried by G.C.M., at Fort
Sam Houston, Tex., on a charge of mutiny and murder,
closed on Nov. 16, after Pvt. Cleda Love, of the 24th,
who turned state’s evidence, had finished his testimony.
He identified thirty-one of the defendants by name as

being among those who left camp, and added seven more
by picking out defendants whom he recognized without
knowing their names. Many of the men he designated
were among the eighteen pointed out previously by Pvt.
Henry Peacock.

Private Love told of alleged planning for the march
on Housten between Sergeant Henry and other non-
commissioned officers, among whom he mentioned Cor-
porals Brown, Wheatley and Moore” He said that after
retreat Henry called some non-commissioned officers to-
gether, and that Corporal Baltimcore was there and
told them how the police had beaten him up and fired at
him. He said it was planned to go downtown and burn
the town as they went along. Asked who made such
plans he could not specify individuals, explaining that
the “whole gang was talking, including Henry.” salti
moore did not urge them to go downtown, he said.

Love’s testimony gave details of the dispute in which
the riot broke up. According to his testimoney and
that of others, Sergeant Henry asked if the men wanted
to go back toward town after they had turned off and
gone into a field near some woods. Some wanted to co
back to camp. Corporal Brown said if they went back
to camp they -would all be killed, and some one else re-
plied that they might as well be killed that way as to
stay in the woods and be killed by civilians during the
night. Sergeant Nesbit, he said, was with those that
started back to camp, there being about fifty in that
party. He said Corporal Brown took a gang of about
thirty-five or forty and went toward town. Sergeant
Henry, who had been wounded and who refused to go
back to camp, according to a former witness, was left
at the railroad right of way.

Cross-examinations of the witnesses strengthened the
testimony previously given that there were threats to
kill men of the 24th Infantry who fell out of line during
the march to shoot up Houston. Love said Sergeant
Henry issued the order to kill any that fell out and
that the men in the column were aware from the start
that there were men stationed in the rear to fire if they
fell out.

Pvt. Henry Peacock, when cross-examined, identified
himself as the soldier who knocked down Policeman
Richardson at the time the automobile with policemen
was stopped in Houston. This policeman, who was not
killed, lay on the ground and watched the attack on
Captain Mattes’s automobile which followed.

Gen, Tasker H. Bliss, Chief of Staff, Major Gen.
George -T. Bartlett, N.A., Admiral W. S. Benson and
Viee Admiral W. 8S. Sims, U.S.N., were present at the
formal opening of the American Officers’ Club in Lon-
don on Nov. 20. The Duke of Connaught. made the

a filthy ditch, st ripped of his clothes, forced to take a
bath, beaten with sticks and again thrown into a litch
and forced to drink of the polluted water. T! ptain
admitted on the stand that he had assembled the com.

pany and had asked the advice of the men as to what

punishment should be given to Gottschalk for | viola-
tion of rules, and he also admitted that he had allowed
punishment to be infticted by men of the battery, put

sehalk. The court found Captain Sullivan guilt, on
certain snalitenth ms and sentenced him to ~ nded
from his command for thi rty days, and that he be re

stricted to the limits of Camp Wadsworth for thirty
days and be reprimanded eg the reviewing aut ty.

General . Phillips, as reviewing officer, returned the
proceedings to the court for revision, as he considered
the sentence inadequate. The court adhered to its origi.
nal finding. General Phillips, in reviewing the proceed-
ings, says: “In order that the accused may t en-

tirely escape punishment the proceedings, findings and
sentence are approved and will be duly executed at the
station of his command. ‘This despite the fact that the
€

reviewing authority is of the opinion that the idence

presented clearly constituted a violation of the 95th
Article of War and discloses a cowardly abuse of ay-
thority on the part of the accused.

“Our military system provides for a proper method
of punishment for offenses. The methods employed by

Captain Sullivan practically amounted to a justifica-
tion of mob rule in his:command. However, even tak-
ing the view that the findings were warranted by the
evidence presented, it is still considered that the sen-
tence awarded is entirely inadequate. In sending the
ease back to the court for consideration and revision
the reviewing authority stated that in his opinion the
findings of the court under the specifications warranted
punishment considerably greater than that awarded by
the court in the case. The court, however, saw fit to
adhere to its former sentence.”

The court was composed of the following officers of
New York National Guard: Col. Charles I. De Bevoise,
president; Col. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Lieut. Col. Morris
Liebmann, Majors Jesse S. Button, Walter “ lumater,
Walter L. Hildreth, Thomas M. Sherman, Otto I. Chor-
man, Arthur L. Howe, Charles M. Tobin an 1 M. rtimer
D. Bryant. Capt. C. J. Cadotte acted as judge advo

cate and Lieut. Charles P. Loeser as assistant judge
advocate.

The latest American transports to reach “a French
port” had an exciting trip through the submarine zone,
according to a dispatch of Nov. 22, The first night in the
zone two transports collided. Out was slightly damaged,
and a small hole was torn in the bow of the other. A few
projecting guns were damaged. Temporary repairs were
made and the ships proceeded. The following night 4

The object of the bazaar, according to the original an-

WEST POINT.
West Point, N.Y., Nov. 21, 1917.

War relief work is taking up much time now, the Red Cross
meetings being especially flourishing, and the individual home
knitting makes the total accomplished something to be proud of.
The Monday Bridge Club, which meets at Cullum Hall. gives a
pleasant hour of relaxation and at the same time does a good
work, for half of the small fee paid by each member goes toward
the Red Cross materials, while the other half purchases a
modest prize for the bridge winners. This week Mrs. Henry
was hostess, and the prize-winners were Mesdames Coleman,
Gee, Matheson, Thomlinson, McAlister and Pillans.

Col. and Mrs. Willcox and their guest and cousin, Mrs. H,
Randall Webb, of Washington, went down to New York on Fri-

day, and with Miss Mary Webb were guests of Gen. and Mrs.
Goethals that evening at dinner at the Astor. Mrs. Peter E.
Traub has been the guest of Mrs, Fiebeger for the week. Col.
and Mrs. Carter entertained at dinner on Thursday evening
for Colonel Tillman and for Major and Mrs. Haskin, Major and
Mrs. Ennis and Mrs. Coleman.

Mrs. Holt gave a pretty bridge-luncheon on Friday for Mrs.
Traub and for Mesdames Fiebeger, Robinson, Timberlake, Ganoe.
Chilton and Nichols. Prizes at bridge were won by Mrs.
Fiebeger and Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. George R. Goethals has gone
to Watertown, N.Y., to visit her family for a few days. Miss
Helen Taft, of New York, was the week-end guest of Col. and
Mrs. Timberlake, who had dinner for her on Saturday, when
other guests were Miss Evelyn Robinson, Cadets Herbert Wil-
liams and Hinton.

Lieut. Col. Frederick W. Coleman, of American Lake, Wash.,
was the guest of his mother and sister, Mrs. Coleman and Mrs.
Carter, for over Sunday. Col. and Mrs. Reber motored up from
the city and were guests of Col. and Mrs. Willcox at luncheon
on Sunday. Mrs. Traub, Mrs. Fiebeger and Miss Fiebeger were

Playing the best “team football” of the season, the Army
eleven defeated Lebanon Valley College on Nov. 17 by a score of

50 to 0. The visiting team was reputed to be a fairly strong
one, but they never got inside the Army’s forty-yard line dur-
ing the entire game. The Army had a stronger team than
usual out in the beginning of ‘the play, and the substitutes put
in were all the best of the second string players. The cadets
made sixteen points in the first period, thirteen in the second,
Seven in the third, and fourteen in the last period. The
Army lineup and summary: March, l.e.; Smith, 1.t.; Adams,

Marine Engineering and Naval Construction, Naval Academy,
has been detached and ordered to sea duty. He left Annapolis
on Monday, where he has a host of sincere friends. Commander
Cluverius identified himself with civic interests in Annapolis and
will be greatly missed.

The special members of the French Commission and of the
French army motored from Washington on Sunday and were
guests here of Superintendent and Mrs. E. W. Eberle. They
were shown through the grounds of the Academy, attended the
services at the chapel, and were served with luncheon at the
Superintendent’s quarters. The visiting party consisted of
Marquis Montford de Courtiviron. Madame Courtiviron, Captain
Rouvier, of the French army, and Captain Marriott.

Superintendent and Mrs. Eberle had as week-end guests Rear
Admiral L. C. Palmer, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, and
Mrs. Palmer. Capt. Eugene Magruder, U.S.A.. on duty at the
University of Washington, spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs.
D. R. Magruder. Lieut. Dodge Woodward, U.S.A., is spend-
ing a short leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William N.
Woodward. Dr. Thomas Fell, president of St. John’s College,

The football season has ended at the Naval Academ The
consensus of opinion is that the Navy never had a better team
It is very true that most of the elevens that the mid 1ipmen
played were weak and not in the class of the big teams, yet
the admirals handled them in a way that showed the great
superiority of the Navy players over their opponents Only
once was the Navy’s eleven beaten, and that was in their first
game of the season. The score with West Virginia stood: West
Virginia, 7; Navy, 0. The markedly aggressive character of
the Navy players during the season was invincible. Their ling
stood like a stone wall. There was no breaking it The team
resorted to few tricks. One, however, was most s essful,
and that was the pretense to make a forward pass and then tg
rush the ball when their opponents were scattered [t seldom
failed to make a substantial gain. An occasi end run,
and sometimes a forward pass, enlivened the playing of the
Navy; but its general work was opening gaps in the enemy's
line either at the center or through the guards or tackles, ang
then coming through the openings for long advances, n ten

yards at a time, and last Saturday’s game with Villa Nova
recorded two long and fine rushes of forty or fifty yards each,

Villa Nova drew the first blood on Saturday by scoring
a goal from the field. It was only a scratch. After that the
Navy pummeled the visitors around the ring in such rapid and
effective order that they never again threatened the Navy's
goal. Villa Nova fought bravely, but its defenses were thrown

aside as straw before the wind in the attacks of the Navy's
eleven. The Navy followed its usual course of play, bucking
the line. opening great holes in it for the man with the ball,
an occasional end run, very long separated forward passes, and
a wise, continuous and successful use of a pretended forward
pass. Villa Nova was quite successful with the forward pass,
but it could not keep its plays long enough together to make
any substantial progress but once toward the Navy's goal line,
They tried the delayed pass and the double pass. They added
interest to the game, but not many yards to the visitors.

At the end of the game the score stood: Villa Nova, 3; Navy,
80. Villa Nova’s game with the Army resulted: Villa Nova, 7;
Army, 21. By the rule of three this would work out an equa-
tion very largely in favor of the Navy had the Army and Navy
met in their usual annual contest. It happens, however, in
football that games played by arithmetic and the result ascer-
tained in that form do not always agree when put to the actual
test on the gridiron. So the question, “Could the Navy have
beaten, had they met in battle array, the Army in 1917?" re
maing an unanswered issue. The Navy and its backers feel that
all that was needed by the Navy was to meet the Army this
season and “they were theirs.”

GOVERNORS ISLAND.
Governors Island, N.Y.H., Nov. 20, 1917,

Arrangements for the social activities of the season have
been begun by appointment of the following committee by
the department commander to have charge of hops and other
functions of a social nature: Col. Orin B. Mitcham, Ord,
Dept.; Col. J. L. Knowlton, Q.M.C.; The Adjutant, Fort Jay;
Capt. C. B. Rucker, Atlantic Branch Disc. Bks.; Lieut. Carle-
ton Coulter, jr., aid; Chaplain E. B. Smith. The committee
has announced a series of dances during the season, followimg
the usual custom of alternate formal and informal dances on
Friday evenings, with the New Year’s masquerade dance «
Jan. 4.

An auction bridge-tea was given at the clubhouse on the
afternoon of Nov. 16 for the benefit of the Army Relief So-
ciety. The occasion was a delightful one socially and very
successful for the purpose for which it was given. The net
proceeds were $306. Miss Mary Finley planned and carried
through the affair, being assisted by Mrs. Mary Seymour
Jones and Miss Anne Seymour, of New York. Mrs. John P.
Finley and Mrs. Edmund B. Smith poured tea. The prizes
were trimmed baskets, knitting bags, vases of orchids and
violets and theater tickets, all donated by friends of Miss
Finley. Mrs. Charles F. Roe, Mrs. Francis Gibson, Miss
Harriet Center and a large number of ladies from New York
were present to make up the party of thirty tables.

Mrs. Taylor Evans is visiting her sister, Mrs. Edward £.
Farnsworth. Mrs. Frank H. Lawton has left Governors Island
and after visiting Mrs. Charles F. Roe, at Highland Falls,
is staying in New York. Miss Sawtelle, daughter of the late
Captain Sawtelle, of the Cavalry, and granddaughter of the
late Brig. Gen. Charles G. Sawtelle, is a guest of her uncle
and aunt, Major and Mrs. Walter L. Reed. Mrs. Reams and
daughter, Violet, are guests of Col. and Mrs. Joseph L

NOTES FROM CAMP LEE.
Camp Lee, Va., Noy. 14, 1917.

To the casual visitor who expects to find the camp a sort
of circus he is not wholly disappointed, as it is like a many-
ringed circus with continuous performances day after day, 48
the many troops are constantly going through strenuous mili-
tary maneuvers on all parts of the extensive drill grounds.
Likewise, on the free afternoons athletic events take the place
of the usual drills, so at no time is the place sleepy and peace
ful. Even on the way to camp, on the Petersburg-Hopewell
concrete road, which is only fourteen feet wide, one realizes
that there must be “something doing’ further on, as there
is generally a continuous line of jitneys, busses, trucks, and
an occasional vehicle drawn by a mule and driven by an old
darkey taking his family to town. The jitney drivers’ profits
of $40 or more a day will be reduced, as under new regulations
fares have been reduced from twenty-five to fifteen cents a trip
between camp and Petersburg, and to five cents anywhere inside
camp, and each passenger is assured of a seat. The street-car
service and large eighteen-passenger auto busses are also under
strict regulations, so the boys in khaki are assured of better
and cheaper transportation than has been the case up to the
present time. whey’ : j

Petersburg and vicinity, and Richmond as well, are reaping
undreamed of benefits in a financial way from the presence of
the troops here. The people are doing all they can to make
the men comfortable and to feel at home, and a feeling of
mutual trust and confidence exists between the civilian and
the Army. Officers’ families have been received into lovely
homes and given delightful rooms, where they can be comfort
able and near their husbands as long as they are on “this
side.” To keep house is not often possible, so the question
of board is a problem to many families. Expenses have beet
more than doubled for many, since no commutation of quarters
is allowed officers on duty in the field or at training camps.
Of course, Congressmen have not yet the proper sympathy

by the state military law and rules. Enlistments will be made
for | term of two years unless sooner discharged. The uni-
forms and equipment will be furnished free by the state, and
drills will be held in the armory weekly. Enlistment is open to

pumbe! of men registered under the Draft Act who have not as

sch men special training will-be given two evenings a week,
one evening being devoted to infantry drill and training, and
the other evening to class room work, amplifying and supple-
menting the work on the drill floor This training will be of
desirous of becoming non-

at value to those men who are }

commis ned officers in the Infantry arm of the Service. ‘

of employees of-the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and
f the Home Defense units drilling in the armory have

several of ] mse

USE OF NEW YORK ARMORIES.
Adjutant General C. H. Sherrill, of New York, issued the

following instructions on Nov. 13:

A misunderstanding having arisen as to the use now con-
templated of state armories, lately vacated by the muster into
the Federal service and discharge from the state service of the
New York National Guard, it has become necessary to make
oficial announcement in this regard and the following regula-
tions in relation thereto are promulgated for the
isformation of all concerned:

(a) All of the provisions of Section 192 of the Military Law
of the State of New York continue applicable to the use of
armories.

(b) No armory shall be used as the permanent headquarters
of any organization other than units of the New York Guard or
the Naval Militia or veteran associations of National Guard,
Naval Militia or New York Guard units.

(c) The officer in charge and control of an armory may, upon
pplication by the commanding officer of a unit of the Home
Reserve in that community, grant permission for the

therefore

Defens« ‘
Home Defense Reserve unit to drill in the armory at such time
as in his opinion will not interfere with the regular routine

work of the New York Guard or the Naval Militia, but such
privilege shall be subject to revocation by the said officer at
any time such use proves to interfere in any way with the work

of the New York Guard or the Naval Militia unit located in
that ory.

(d » use of baths, gymnasiums, company rooms or club
rooms in armories is prohibited to the Home Defense Reserve,
because those privil are properly prerogatives of the New

York Guard and Naval Militia, and afford inducements to en-
listment therein, and nothing can be permitted to interfere with

gsech enlistment.

(e) The use of any armory by a Home Defense Reserve unit,
as afore said, shall at all times be subject to the approval of
the brigade commander in whose territory the armory is located

f The Adjutant General of the state.

(f) Officers responsible for armories will use their best efforts
to provide opportunities im their armories for the use of the
rs for the conduct of military drills by the Military
Commission in accordance with Chapter 566 of the
1916 (Section 29a of the Military Law), provided
such use does not interfere with the training of the organiza-
tions quartered therein.

tenant of the C.A.C., O.R.C., will sign himself 2d lieut.,

cation as to the progress of work on coast defenses.

CONSTANT READER asks: I served in Cuba from May
27, 1899, to July 20, 1900. Does it count double time to-
wards retirement? Answer: Yes; see A.R. 134.

A. F. £. asks: Does a temporary captain of the Coast Ar-
tillery Corps appointed from first lieutenant, with rank from
Aug. 5, 1917, outrank a National Guard vaptain who was
mustered into the Federal Service on or about Aug. 5, 1917?
Answer: All officers in the Regular Army in a particular grade
(say captain), whether temporary or permanent, outrank offi-
cers of National Guard in same grade, irrespective of date
of commission.

EX-CAPTAIN, VOLUNTEERS, asks: In the case of an Army
retiring board disregarding the Revised Statutes of the United
States, can a Federal court review the findings of such board,
and if it finds that such statutes have been violated, can it
direct or will its findings set aside the action of the retiring
board? Answer: The finding of a retiring board, approved
by the President, is conclusive as to the facts. The board
finds the facts and the President approves or disapproves.
There is here a judicial power vested in the two, and not in
the President acting simply, and when the power has once
been fully exercised, it is exhausted as to the case. Ne officer
shall in any case be wholly retired from the Service without
a full and fair hearing before an Army retiring board, if,

upon due summons, he demands it.

When the President ap-
proves and acts upon the report of a retiring beard he
thereby determines that the officer has had a full and fair
hearing. It would require an act of Congress to reinstate an
officer who has been fully retired.

A. D. C.—The Act of Oct. 6, 1917, defining the Dental
Corps ef the Army, makes no change in the status of the
dental assistants; it applies solely to commissioned officers of
the Dental Corps, and fixes their numbers, pay and promotion
status,

CAPTAIN Z. asks: If a captain in the Regular Army is
commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the National Army
should he wear U.S. or the superimposed U.S.N.A. coHar de-
vice in connection with the silver leaf? Aaswer: U.S.

R. S8.—This is a poor time to look up the address of @
soldier, just for old acquaintance sake, as the Department is
worked to the limit to keep up with urgent matters. If you
know the organization to which your chum belongs, address
him by company and regiment, care of A.G.O., to be for-
warded,

WORRIED asks: I was commissioned captain, Q.M.R.C.,
and called te active duty Aug. 1, 1917, from Q.M. sergeant,
Q.M.c. At the termination of present emergency do I drop
back to grade which I held in the Regular Army (Q.M. ser-
geant, Q.M. Corps)? I am told no provision has been made
as relates to former enlisted men commissioned in

the present Congress for the amendment of various sections

of the National Defense Act, as heretofore reported in our -

columns,

E. L. B. asks: I have been in the retail clothing business
for eight years, as a proprietor. Would the knowledge
have in that line be of any value to the Government, at this
time, in the Q.M. Department! I have had no military train-
ing; could I take examination for commission in this branch,
and where must one apply for permission to take this ex-
amination: Answer: No opportunity for you now. See an-
swer to A. M. R.

A. M. R.—Uatil further notice there will be no opportuni-
ties for civilians to become second lieutenants. Future ap-
pointments are to be from graduates of the training camps
about to be opened for enlisted men and members of the
Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (from the schools having
satay courses).

G. D.—For information and iiterature as to the require-
oul for making application and entering the Military Acad-
emy and the Naval Academy, address, respectively, The Ad-
jutant General of the Army and the Bureau of Navigation,
Navy Department.

B. H. L.—Apply to your department commander for ad-
mission to the third series of officers’ _y camps. Re-
garding transfers of enlisted men see A.R.

R. C. W.—You were not successful in x yale examination
for provisional second lieutenants.

Cc. 8. C.—Your name does not appear in the two lists we
have published. Perhaps it may come in the next list. In the
meantime, in the absence of notification to the contrary from
The A.G.O., you should remain. with the organization to which
you have been attached for service under your O.R.C. commis-
sion. We understand that all those who received commissions
as provisional second lieutenants made eighty or better in the
examinations,

A. D.—Enlisted men of the Ordnance Department, U.S.
Army, and enlisted men of the National Army, Ord. Dept.,
should be carried on the same muster roll.

Cc. R. 8.—A man that enlisted Jan. 4, 1913, loses pay while
in Y eas by sentence of S.C. under G.O. 45, April 27,
191

L. 8.—Tell your C.O. about your former service and discharge

from N.G. He should be able to advise and assist you.
A. H. asks: Enlisted March 6, 1911; bought out Dec. 16,
1911; re-enlisted Dec. 19, 1911; served three years, enlisted,

under three-year act. Am I entitled te another period after I
have served three years, two months and twenty days? An-
swer: Your first period did not end until Dec. 18, 1914. If
you re-enlisted then, your third period for purpose of pay begins
Dec. 18, 1918, as enlistments entered upon in 1914 were for
seven years—four active, three reserve, with four years counting
a period.

L. McV.—tThere is no law giving to all widows of Spanish
War veterans $25 a month. The War Risk Insurance Act of
Oct. 6, 1917, in Sec. 314, does not enlarge the list of those
entitled to widows’ pensions; it merely fixes the rate at $25
where existing law provided for a lower rate in the case of
widows of the Civil War, Spanish War and Philippine In-
surrection. A widow of a Spanish War veteran does not
receive a pension by reason of her husband's service alone,
but by reason of his death resulting from his service. Former
law granted such widow $12. The new law increases this
to $25. We quote the section in full: ‘‘Sec. 314. That from
and after the passage of this act the rate of pension for a
widow of an officer or enlisted man of the Army, Navy, or
Marine Corps of the United States who served in the Civil
War, the war with Spain, or the Philippine Insurrection, now
on the pension roll or hereafter to be placed on the pension
roll, and entitled to receive a less rate than hereinafter pro-
vided, shall be $25 per month; and nothing herein shall be
construed to affect the additional allowance provided by ex-
isting pension laws on account of a helpless child or child
under sixteen years of age: Provided, however, That this act
shall not be so construed as to reduce any pension under any
act, public or private: And provided further, That the pro-
visions of this section shall be administered, executed, and
enforced by the Commissioner of Pensions.’

FORT LEAVENWORTH.

Fort Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 12, 1917.

Mrs. J. F. Houston has arrived from San Francisco to visit
her daughter, Mrs. A. S. Cowan, and will remain during the
winter. Mrs. Ralph Hospital and small daughter, of Fort Riley,
are the guests of her parents, Col. and Mrs. C. F. Craig, en
route to join Captain Hospital at Fort Sam Houston. Mrs.
Dent Sharp, of Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., is the guest of Major
and Mrs. W. F. Sharp.

Mrs. Cyrus J. Wilder, who spent a week with her parents,
Col. and Mrs. E. B. Fuller, left Thursday to join Captain Wilder
at Houston, Texas. Master Frank B. Crusan, of Kansas City, is
the guest of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs, Frank Bartlett,
in Leavenworth. During the absence of Major Crusan as a
member of General Pershing’s staff in France, Master Crusan
is with Mrs. Crusan in Kansas City.

Mrs. Letton came last week from Lincoln, Neb., to visit her
son, Capt. H. P. Letton, E.R.C. Mrs. Letton is the wife of
the judge of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, and is one of the
national vice-presidents of the Daughters of the American Rev-
olution. Mrs, Telesphor G, Gottschalk, of Fort Riley, is the
guest of her mother, Mrs. Harriet Markle, in Leavenworth.

An order here from The Adjutant General of the Army in
Washington states that the new cantonments here when finished
will be occupied by Signal Corps troops as follows: Depot Com-
pany No. 1, 5th Field Battalion, 6th Field Battalion, 410th

Telegraph Battalion. These organizations will aggregate about
2,000 men, 500 animals, 114 wagons, and a number of motor
trucks, motorcycles and motor cars.

Capt. Garrison Babcock, adjutant, Signal Corps Training
Camp, returned Friday from Chicago, where he delivered an
address on ‘‘Engineer’s Responsibility’’ at the annual banquet
of the Chicago Chapter, American Association of Engineers, of
which he formerly was president. In appreciation of his for-
mer services as association gg ~ Captain Babcock was
presented with a beautiful saber. Major J. A. Lockwood, re-
tired, who came to Fort Leavenworth several weeks ago to as-
sume the duties of post adjutant, has been relieved from duty
and will report to Col. Sedgwick Rice, commandant of the Dis-
ciplinary Barracks, for assignment to duty. The post made
vacant by Major Lockwood will be filled by Capt. Willis E.
Teale, C.E., who was post adjutant before the coming of Major
Lockwood.

Lieuts. Paul Darlington, Charles Drake and S. D. Marks,
Provisional Officers’ Battalion, have been relieved from duty
and ordered to report elsewhere. Lieutenant Darlington has
been assigned to the 46th Infantry, Fort Benjamin Harrison;
Lieutenant Drake to 39th Infantry, Camp Greene, N.C., and

Col. Charles F. Craig, in charge of the laboratory, left Saturday
for a ten days’ leave to be spent in Philadelphia. Capt. P. A.
Hodson, who has made a special study of war risk insurance,
delivered a lecture to the enlisted men at the post Friday after-
noon. Captain Hodson was recently called to Washington,
where the insurance plan was fully explained to him. Upon
his return he gave a lecture to the officers.

Lieut. Claude B. Miller, Signal Corps Training Class, has
been relieved from duty and ordered to report at New York.
Lieutenant Miller is an old Signal Corps man, having returned
to the Service from civil life with the declaration of war. Capt.
Ralph W. Dusenbury, Inf., has been ordered to report to Col-
onel Miller, he having been assigned as an instructor at the
Army Service School.

Refusing to turn out for drill proved a costly experiment for
seven members of Battery A, 18th Field Artillery, who have
been received at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, to serve long
terms, as well as being dishonorably discharged from the Ser-
vice and forfeiting all pay. It was charged that the men acting
jointly, at Camp Fort Bliss, in August, mutinied against the
authority of Lieut. Harry Harvey, commanding officer of the
battery, and refused to assemble for drill. They were tried by
court-martial Aug. 31.

Enlisted men of the 7th Engineers received a number of
sweaters, wristlets, mufflers and helmets Saturday from Mrs. 8.
G. Godfrey, wife of Major Godfrey, who is secretary of the
Comforts committee in the post. The articles are exceptionally
well-made and were greatly appreciated.

Col. Clement F. Flagler and all the officers of the 7th Engineers
posed for a group picture Friday. A picture of the enlisted
men was taken several weeks ago,

Lieut. Edgar E. Hume, M.C., has been detailed as parole
officer at the Disciplinary Barracks in addition to his other du-
ties. He will be assisted by Lieut. Ralph Chambers, M.R.C.
First Lieuts. Earl De Lay, Dallas, Texas, and Ray Blanchard,

and are assigned for duty at the Signal Officers’ Training
Camp. Lieutenant Blanchard formerly was connected with the
Western Union Telegraph Company.

Sergt. J. C. Shewalter, attached to the Disciplinary Barracks
Guard, retired from active service Tuesday. He has served con-
ee since his enlistment at this post twenty-eight years
ago. @ ist Company of the prison guard, as a testimonial
of their esteem for Sergeant Shewalter, presented him on his
retirenient from the Government service with a handsome gold
watch and chain.

Corpl. Alexander Christie, Company E, 410th Telegraph Bat-
talion, died on Thursday, coming to his death through alco-
holic poisoning and not meningitis as had been reported. Col.
W. A. Shunk, post commandant, made that official statement.
The board of physicians who performed the autopsy found
large quantities of wood alcohol in the viscera.

Major and Mrs. Stuart Godfrey have returned from a week's
absence at Fort Riley. Mrs. J. N. Macomb, wife of Captain
Macomb, of the Engineers’ Reserve Camp, has tendered her
services for the next few weeks, until the end of the Engineer
camp, as an instructor in French, the classes to be held in the
Y.M.C.A. rooms in Leavenworth.

Mrs, De Long, head of the women’s work in Kansas, was
exceedingly complimentary in regard to her reports of the work
of the Red Cross at Fort Leavenworth and auxiliaries in Leay-
enworth, on the occasion of her visit last week. She said that
at no place she had visited in the country had the surgical
dressings been so perfect. Through the courtesy of Col. E. B.
Fuller, two large, well-lighted rooms in the Service Schools
building have been given to the post chapter for the surgical
dressings classes. Miss Trotter and her committee last week
packed and shipped the following garments: Bath robes, blan-
ket, 9; outing flannel pajamas, 22; eiderdown shoulder wraps,
3; bed socks, long, 22; bed socks, long, 19; surgical operating
gowns, 2; outing flannel pajamas, 1 pair; pillow cases, 10;
muslin pajamas, 15 pair; draw sheets, 2; sheets, bed, 21;
sweaters, 33; helmets, 29; wristlets, 64; socks, 49; mufflers,
8; bed socks, 1; bandages, triangle, 50; abdominal, 30; tail
bandages, 15; compresses, 1,080; gauze strips, 60; knitted
wash cloths, 108; gauze rolls, 6; pads, 30; laparotomy pads,
80; operating helmets, 2; gauze caps, 8: hot water covers, 4,
The surgical dressings box contained 1,567 articles.

Col. W. A. Shunk, post commandant, takes great pride in the
moral condition of the post and the improved conditions in
Leavenworth. “In all my Army career I have never been lo-
cated at a military post where conditions are as satisfactory as
they are at Leavenworth just now,” said Colonel Shunk, “If
anyone wants confirmation of this statement let him go over
our guard house and see for himself. A post guardhouse is
the vane which tells which way the wind blows. For some time

examined, and what’ questions he need not answer. IT TELLS THE
ACCUSED how to prepare his defense, how to secure his counsel, how
to protect his rights, and how, step by step, the judge advocate and
the court prosecutes the case. IT TELLS THE COUNSEL how to
bring out every fact clearly; how to introduce, and how to rebut,
evidence; and saves him the embarrassment of not knowing the pro-
cedure. IT GIVES THE EXPERIENCED JUDGE ADVOCATE AND
COURT a convenient and ready reference and guide to the Manual
Every officer and every soldier should have a copy of this work.

Courts-Martial and the writer have used it for years in thousands
of cases approved by the War Department.

‘—and when a package of Fatimas reaches
camp we feel as if we were on a big party.”’

Fatimas have long been a stand-by with both the Army

they may occasionally smoke more often than usual, Fatima’s
well-balanced Turkish blend leaves a man feeling just as
before. Fatimas never disturb. You'll find this true as surely

ton Bringhurst. Mrs. R. L. Dinwiddie has returned from Camp
Wadsworth, where she has been visiting her husband, Dr. Din-

Allen served tea, assisted by Mrs. Sterling P. Adams. The
affair will be one of the weekly treats for the lovers of the
sport. Oapt. and Mrs, Robert S. Lytle have returned from

front.

Mrs. Arthur Thayer and children left last week for Browns-

cers and men both attended and many weve accompanied by
their wives. ° }

Colonel Chitty, commander of Kelly Field, yesterday received
orders from Washington to begin organizing 100 squadrons
for aviation service abroad. Part of the 100 squadrons will
be gy up from the recruits now coming in at the rate of 300
daily.

One hundred and twenty-five members of the detachment of
the San Antonio Arsenal with its officers met at a farwell ban-
quet at the Menger Hotel last night in honor of a number who
will soon leave the School of Ordnance Instruction for active
duty elsewhere. Colonel Morton, who recently replaced Major
Jordan, spoke to his men up on the “Gravity of the Situation,”
and the work that confronts them. He told them of the great-
ness of the Ordnance Department and thanked the men for
their co-operation. Among the other officers present were Capt.
R. N. Bodine, O.D., U.S.A.; Capt. Cedric Burgher, U.S.R.;
Lieut. William B. Ledd, jr., U.S.R., and Lieut. Austin Kurhns,
U,S.R., all of the arsenal and its school. The San Antonio
Arsenal is the city’s oldest military establishment. It is the
largest issuing ordnance arsenal in the United States. It has
recently been selected one of the four training schools for non-
commissiond officers. Every six weeks witnesses the incoming
of additional men.

Mrs. Munroe McFarland and Mrs. Frank Boggs entertained
Tuesday at the Country Club at luncheon followed by bridge
for about thirty ladies from the post. Major and Mrs. Jack
Heard entertained at dinner in their quarters at Kelly Field,
No. 2, Friday, honoring Major and Mrs. Wilbourne, who have
recently arrived to be located there. The guests included the

honorees and Miss Janie Polk, Mrs. Heard and Captain Lyster.
A theater party at the Majestic followed.

Major Gen. Allen and his entire staff inspected Camp
Travis. This is the first official inspection of the cantonment
that its commander has made. In the afternoon Genera! Allen,
accompanied by Lieut. Col. J. J. Kingman, chief of staff, vis-
ited the rifle range now in course of construction at Leon
Springs. They were accompanied by Major J. G. Winters, divi-
sion ordnance officer. The construction at Leon Springs is
progressing rapidly. More than 200 targets are in course of
construction. ‘This means that 400 men or more can shoot at
the same time. The range will be the largest in the country
when completed: On the site will be storehouses for the shelter
of ammunition and supplies and temporary shacks where cook-
ing can be done for the men while they are on the range.

Sixty cottages, to cost approximately $690 a piece, including
furnishing, will be built near Camp Travis to accommodate the .
families of officers who will be on duty at the camp. The deci-
sion to erect the cottages is the result of an appeal to the
Chamber of Commerce by Majot Gen. H. T. Allen, who says
that many officers have had to send their families away because
the house facilities of the city are inadequate. The method of
building the houses is to form a syndicate. The sixty houses
will cost more than $40,000. They will rent for from $25 to
$30 a month each. General Allen has offered the use of about
twenty-five acres of ground belonging te the reservation near
Camp Travis, and says he will build roads and pave streets.

Drilling of recruits at Camp Travis has reached the stage
where the men are being taught wig-wag signalling, troop and
squad movement by both arm and whistle signalling, and the
finer points of soldiering. Within a short time, according to
present plans, the men will practically all be equipped with
rifles, and the handling of the small arms will be started. This
will include the study of the mechanism of the breech, the care
of the weapon, and then day-long hikes to Leon Springs to the
range, where they will hold target practice for two or three
days. Officers of the division after handling the men for sev-
eral weeks are almost unanimous in expressing themselves ©
highly pleased at the progress made by the men,

San Antonio’s first military balloon flights were made when ~
three were sent up from the training school. Signal corps men
from the Government balloon school at Omaha, Neb., who have
just arrived, were the passengers in the balloons, all of which
landed safely after remaining in the air for some time. The
first balloon was sent up with Capt. E. 8. Cole as pilot, and
the balloon is considered the largest of its kind in the world,
and made a trip of sixteen miles. The second balloon, which
left the ground shortly after one o'clock, reached an altitude of
4,000 feet before landing west of Camp Travis. The third
took a course still farther west. There will be daily ascensions
all through the winter. Twelve balloons are at the school and
the number that will be sent up will be increased over the num-
ber sent up on the opening day. In addition to the gas bal-
loon flights the course at the school will include kite balloon-
ing. The work of the school will include also the military
features of observation, aerial photography and signalirg. Ap-
plications for aerial observers as well as for pilots already are
being taken at Fort Sam Houston, J. W. mis, president of
the Missouri Aeronautical Society, who has moved the school
here from St. Louis, witnessed the first flights, and will remain
in San Antonio during the winter.

Aviation Student David Bondurant, a recent graduate of the
ground school at Austin, and one of Major Burwell’s most prom-
ising flyers, was solo flying Thursday when his machine, a J.N.
4, went into a “slide slip,”” and fell 100 feet, completely wreck-
ing it. Major Wilhourson, commandant of the feld, was the
first to reach the fallen aviator, who climbed out of the wreck-
age without a scar.

The “Trench and Camp” is a new weekly publication tha
has made its appearance in the army camp in and about San
Antonio. The publication will contain four pages of news
gathered from the camps and four pages of cartoons and hews
of genera] nature. The first issue carried on its front page a
personal message from President Wilson as commander in chief
of the Army. Lieut. Col. A. D. Filley, formerly of the British
Flying Corps, but detached to come to America as a member
of the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, is making a visit
to all the aviation fields as a student and advisor. Colong
Filley, with Major Maxwell Kirby, was in San Antonio last
week and paid a visit to Kelly Field.

Six thousand five hundred negroes arrived at Camp Trayis
during the week. They were sent to training battalions of the
Depot Brigade, and work will start immediately under eo.
mand of white officers and non-commissioned officers. The
first 1,000 to reach the camp were assigned to the Engineer's
Battalion, which is being equipped to be sent abroad without
loss of time. Their work will consist chiefly of laboring under
the direction of the Engineer Corps.

Acting on orders from the War Department, Major Gen. H
T. Allen issued instructions for the transfer of 3,722 enlisted
men from the 90th Division, Camp Travis, to the 836th Division
Camp Bowie, Fort Worth. These men taken from the 165th
Depot Brigade, which is the organization where all surplus
men have been sent, will be used to fill the gaps in the ranks
of the Texas and Oklahoma National Guard organizations.

Capt. T. H. Kruttschnitt, who has been assistant to the De.
partment Quartermaster at Fort Sam Houston in charge of
railway transportation, received orders transferring him to
Philadelphia. Lieut. Col. Charles Brooks Clarke was at South.

Orders were sent out during the past week from Col. Alfred
Hasbrouck advising all officers to instruct their enlisted men

how to make application for enrolment in the series of camps
which will begin on Jan. 5. These camps are for graduates
of certain schools or colleges which have military training and

nature and covers were laid for twenty. Major and Mrs.
Resolve P. Palmer entertained at a supper on Thursday in
compliment to Capt. Henri Bloch, of the French army, who
has been stationed here as special ingtructor for some time,
The guests were mainly the younger officers on the post and
some of the young girls from town.

Chairman Clarence Bamberger, head of the local Liberty
Loan committee, sent a cordial letter to Colonel Hasbrouck last
wéek thanking him and through him the soldiers of the three
regiments for their aid in financing and also in creating inter-
est in the second Liberty Loan.

A recent issue of the Salt Lake Tribune had a Very interest-
ing photograph of Major Emery S. West and his “happy squad-
ron,” consisting of Mrs. West and seven youngsters. The same
picture was sent recently to Colonel Roosevelt and brought
a congratulatory letter in reply. Capt. Sherman Armstrong,

WITH THE TROOPS ON THE BORDER.
Fort Bliss, Texas, Nov. 16, 1917.

The U.S. Army along the border of the Rio Grande from
Presidio, Texas, to El Paso, was put into action Wednesday
night, when Villistas attacked Ojinaga, Mexico, and put the
Mexican population of that city to flight, killing all those who
came in their way. In response to a telephone call from Marfa,
the nearest American town, troops of the 8th Cavalry, under
command of Col. George T. Langhorne, were rushed to Marfa
from the Big Bend district, the latter and his staff making the
journey in his automobile. It is reported that Villa and his
bandits are in control of the river for nearly 200 miles, and
in view of this fact Col. Horatio G. Sickel, commanding the
El Paso district, has placed a heavy guard along the line to

revent any raids of ranches or small towns being made.

uarez, just across from El Paso, was warned Thursday that

Villa troops would make an attempt to take possession of that
town in a few days, and in consequence much excitement pre
vails. A small body of bandits made its appearance opposite
Ysleta, Thursday, and opened fire on the U.S. patrol, which
was returned by the U.S. troops. Many of the population of
the Mexican city of Ojinaga escaped to the American side of
the river, seeking the protection of the U.S. troops. So far it
has not been. learned definitely just where Francisco Villa is
located.

Capt. J. Douyan, Lieut. M. Ranel, Adjutant Louis Hersent
and Sergeants V. Dumont and Louis Voutier of the French
army have been spending a few days in El Paso from their
station at Camp Cody, N.M., where they are on duty as instruc:
tors. While in El Paso the young Frenchmen were guests of
Capt. A. O. Stanford, assistant district adjutant.

One hundred and forty seamen of the U.S. Navy and 184
Filipinos from Goat Island, Cal., spent a few hours in E! Paso
on Thursday en route ta an eastern port. Their band, com
rising seventy-five pieces, gave a concert at the Union station.

he men were in charge of Chief Boatswain Lee Olesor

A cotillion dance was given Friday evening at the big tab-
ernacle of the 34th Infantry by members of the regiment For
favors sterling silver vanity cases were presented to the girls
and silver knives to the men. The regimental band of the 34th
furnished music for dancing. Col. and Mrs. Horatio G. Sickel
gave an informal dinner at the Country Club Thursday, whe?
they had Col. and Mrs. H. O. Williard and Major and Mrs. H.
S. Wagner as guests.

The officers and ladies of the 5th Cavalry entertained a num
ber of their friends from the city and the surrounding dis
trict with a dance at the post hall on Wednesday even'né.
The band of the 5th furnished the music. The El Paso youn’
women who sponsored the football game on Wednesday a!ter
noon at the stadium of the El Paso High School between the
teams from the 34th Infantry and the 13th Artillery were «
tertained with elaborate dinners the same evening. Those °

A “trench tea’? was the novel and original party given by
Miss Isabel Baker and Capt. Lester Baker on Thursday. The
guests assembled at the Administration Building, where the
young ladies donned “‘slickers,’’ and each with an Army officer
oficer as instructor, filed through the long line of trench-work,
stopping now and then to study the many interesting features

of the “first, second and third line trenches.” At one point
near the target range several soldiers were stationed with ser-
viee rifles and a target at 600 yards was provided. The young
ladies all shot for record and an “expert rifleman badge” was
won by Miss Dorothy Sachs, who made a ‘4’; Miss Madeline
Andrews was second with a “3,” and Miss Frances Brown

made a ‘“2,."" There were many misses that echoed and richo-
cheted into the hills of the Koolan Range, but of course, that
was to be expected on first experience in first line trenches, and

caused much amusement. Later tea was served under a tent
fly on the lawn behind the club, at which Mrs. Edward F. Wit-
sell presided, with several soldiers to assist her. Mess kits were

used instead of the usual tableware, adding a touch of Army
life to the delightfully novel affair. Dancing was then enjoyed

the most attractive town and Service girls.

CHINA EXPEDITION NOTES.

Tientsin, China, Oct. 27, 1917.
It is now a little over one month since the distressing flood
spread over Tientsin and for many miles over the surrounding
country, with tremendous loss of property and no telling, how
many lives of the unfortunate, poor Chinese, and as usual
the Americans are among the first to administer relief to the
suffering. The American Red Cross has made a grant of

$50,000 in gold toward flood relief work in Chihli Province.
Mr. Roger 8S. Green, of the China Medical Board and resident
director of the Rockefeller Foundation in China, is acting as
the society’s representative. Col. Edward Sigerfoos, the com-
mandant of the U.S. troops in Tientsin, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, has had erected: a camp, built of adobe, to ac-
commodate 5,000 refugees at the extremity of the ex-German
concession, and to give refugees from the foreign concessions
the first claim to accommodation. All refugees will be medically
examined ‘before admission to‘ the camp, bathed, inoculated and
furnished with clean clothing. The American doctors will ex-
ercise close supervision over the inmates of the camp, and the
American troops will assist in the management of the camp,
with their customary thoroughness and administrative efficiency.
Never in the history has there been a greater calamity befallen
the whole community. The Army barracks have been reached
in rowboats pretty generally, and for weeks it was necessary
to travel over most of the city in rowboats or launches, climb-
ing on fence tops or porches, or up a ladder, entering some of
our loveliest homes in the second floors, as was the case in
Captain Slaughter’s. Mrs. Slaughter left with her son fox
Tongshan. Captains Mygatt, Van Vliet, Morrow and Hall gave
up their flooded homes and secured apartments at the Astor
House. Captain Buck moved his family to the Queen’s Hotel,

Colonel Rand had been granted a ten days’ leave and with
Mrs. Rand it was spent sightseeing in Peking, Ming Tombs
and Great Wall. Mrs. Samuel Price left with her children for
Tongshan, and Capt. and Mrs. Emery spent a few days in
Peking visiting Ming Tombs and Great Wall. Captain Phillips
secured a sufficient leave to take his wife and sick child back
to the States.

Captain Mygatt has been ordered home as lieutenant colonel
in the Aviation Section, and left early this month with his
family for a short visit in Japan before sailing for the States.
Mrs. Mygatt entertained the ladies of the regiment at tea in
the Astor Hotel.

Mrs. Sigerfoos and daughter have sailed from San Fran-
cisco and will arrive in Tientsin about the middle of Novem-
ber. Mrs. Frederick Dale and Miss Audrey Dale, of Manila,
spent a few days in Tientsin this month. Capt. and Mrs,
Case, of Manila, were also visitors here recently. Major and
Mrs. Miller entertained at dinner last week for Capts. and
Mesdames Emery and Buck, Major and Mrs. Bassett, J.A.G.
O.R.C., are living at the Astor House. Miss Wilder, guest of
Chaplain and Mrs. Watts, has left for Manila.

Our Red Cross Society of Tientsin is now working for the
flood Relief. Mrs. Peck, wife of Dr. Albert P. Peck, of the
city, has been elected president, to succeed Mrs. Yount, who
has returned to the States, and Mrs. Watts, wife of Chaplain
Watts, is vice-president.

The China Expedition men have subscribed about $34,400
to the Liberty Loan.

Lieutenants Killian, Lee and Wallace, who so recently arrived
here, have been ordered to Manila. Lieutenant Allen was in
Peking this month with the baseball team.

Chaplain Watts hopes to begin his Sunday services early in
November at the new barracks. The heating plant is being
installed in the large recreation room, and the water has been
pumped out of the compound and a general cleaning up.
When All Saints’s Church can be properly renovated for use,
it having been in water up to the floor for several weeks, the
Chaplain will hold his evening Sunday service in the church.

Capt. and Mrs, Emery entertained at dinner Capt. and Mrs.
Miller and Capt. and Mrs. Buck. Mrs. Miller gave a tea for
the ladies of the regiment on Oct. 26. Col. and Mrs. Rand
entertained at dinner recently for Dr. Ida Kahn, of the city;
Prof. and Mrs. Barker, of Pie Yang University; Lieut. and
Mrs. Vachon and Mrs. Buck. Lieutenant Mesheory, 9th Cav.,
of Camp Stotsenburg, has been in Tientsin during the past
month with the baseball team of the 9th Cavalry.

Three little new members of the Army contingent have ar-
rived within the past month—Hayes A. Kroner, jr., Patricia
Vachon and Marian Nulsen—and are attracting much atten-
tion from the regiment, and congratulations are being extended
the proud parents,

34TH DIVISION, NATIONAL GUARD.

An official bulletin issued from the headquarters of the
34th Division, National Guard, Camp Cody, Deming,
N.M., Nov. 12, calls attention to a number of important
subjects for the benefit and efficiency of the command.
This includes careless correspondence, the excessive use
of envelopes, care needed in making records, and re-
ports, ete.

As to guard duty, the bulletin says: “Attention is again
called to the fact that there is a need of better instruc-
tion of the sentinels on guard. General carelessness,
absence of a military carriage while on duty, neglect of
proper salutes to officers, lack of knowledge as to the
duties of their posts; these are some of the faults that
are constantly observed.”

A division library has been established, and books now
available include ail topics from higher mathematics and
gunnery to Harold Bell Wright. Thus every taste can
be Satisfied.

“A great deal of mail still comes to the Camp Cody
Post Office improperly addressed,” says the bulletin. “It
is absolutely necessary in order to insure a prompt de-
livery of the mail that each officer and enlisted man of
this command send his proper address to all his corre-
spondents. The following model should be followed:
‘Sergt. John Smith, Co. C, 136th Regiment Inf., Camp
Cody, Deming, N.M.’ The old regimental designation
will not be sufficient.”

_itiins

ONLY A VOLUNTEER.

Why didn’t I wait to be drafted,
And be led to the train by a band?
And put in a claim for exemption,
Oh, why did I hold up my hand?
Why didn’t I wait for the banquet?
Why didn’t I wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men get all the credit,
While I only volunteered.

Nobody gave me a banquet,
Nobody said a kind word:
The puff of the engine, the grind of the wheels,
Was all the goodbys I heard,
Then off to the training camp hustled,
To be trained for the next half-year,
And in the shuffle forgotten—
I was only a volunteer.

And perhaps some day in the future,
When my boy sits on my knee,
And he asks what I did in this great war,
And his little eyes look up at me:
I will have to look back into those little eyes,
That at me so trustingly peer,
And tell him that I wasn’t drafted—
That I was only a volunteer.

The naval dinner which it was first planned would be
held in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York city on Nov.
26 is to be given in the Biltmore instead, according to an
announcement by the Woman’s Naval Service, Inc. The
change has been made because it is expected that 1,000
persons will attend the dinner instead of the five hundred
first planned for. The proceeds of the dinner will all go
to the National Home Service Club No. 2 at Thirty-ninth
street and Seventh avenue. Miss Alice Carpenter, chair-
man of the New York branch of the Woman’s Naval Ser-
vice, Inc., will be toastmaster. Arthur Pollen, British
naval expert, will be guest of honor, and several Ameri-
can naval officers of high rank will be among the
speakers.

OF THE

SERVICE

A German captain of engineers has related how he
once sent a green corporal and three men back with in-
structions to put a railroad station completely out of
commission so that it could by no possible means be of
use to the enemy. The corporal rejoined the command
in a surprisingly “short time, considering the nature of his
